Hi,
As you may or may not know, the deuce does not have CV-joints in the front
like most vehicles with front wheel drive. The deuce uses heavy duty
U-joints for strength, I guess, but if you do not disengage the front wheel
drive on hard (high traction) surface, the steering gets very jerky because
of the non-constant turning of the wheels.
The M37 uses CV-joints in the front axle and the 1950's deuces also used
CV-joints.
You can replace the U-joints with CV-joints from the earlier deuces (they
are interchangeable), but the seals may be different.
I thought that lockers are "transparent" if not engaged, so what's wrong
with having them in the front?
Cheers,
Bjorn
