Spicer 23
Rear Axle
The Spicer 23 rear axle was used in the CJ2a until about 1946.
The Spicer company was later acquired by the Dana Corporation.
The Spicer 23 was the only full-floating rear axle offered on a CJ from the factory. The Spicer 23 was a weak axle. It is best to swap this axle out in favor of a Dana 44 or almost any other newer axle.
The Spicer 23 axle is 51 inches wide and the spring perches are 28 inches apart.
