Questions & Answers
I have 1953 M38A1. On the exploded view for "FRONT AXLE - DIFFERENTIAL CASE AND GEARS", item 1 shows only one item. However, when I look at item 1 in the parts list, there are 2 items indicated: A779 NEW FRONT INNER AXLE SHAFT OIL SEAL, and A780 NOS THRUST WASHER FRONT AXLE SHAFT (BENDIX U JOINTS). Are both required, or is only one required. Not sure how to determine this?

There is one seal and one washer there on each side.

This would replace the brass bushing that was used with the Bendix axels? ie I need to remove the old bushing when replacing the Bendix with a spicer axel? It seems like there should also be a seal in the location to keep the knuckle lube in the knuckle ?

Does this go on the outer axle side. I have the threaded axle ends with Dualmatic hubs. The gap between the drum and locking hubs is almost 3/8" when pulled out.
