A friend bought a jeep frame and installed a body he built. He thinks the frame was from a CJ5. The frame has this piece attached to the front axle passenger side going toward the rear of the frame.

Does anyone know what it is for?

Thanks,

It is an axle from a jeep with a V6 engine. That was sort of an additional "snubber" used in the V6 jeeps

It's just my luck that something good is going to happen to me today.

i agree, i believe its purpose was to keep the oil filter on the d225 from being crushed when the suspension is at full bump.

I think that particular D27 snubber design was limited to 1971 and possibly 1970.

My 1968 CJ-5 with 225 cuin V-6 has the torgue snubber on the right side of the front axle ( dana 27 ) it is out board of the spring and has a stop riveted to the outboard side of the frame. The torque arm has a rubber snubber bolted to it's top side.
I believe this was in facrt to stop the front axle from hitting the oil filter on the V-6 produced jeeps. It is welded to the axle so I would think it was a factory design when the V-6's were introduced in 1965 in the CJ-5's.
It is not on the CJ-3B axles.

Thanks for the replies. It turns out it is a travel stop (not proper term) to protect either the oil filter or maybe the oil pan on some vehicles with the V-6 installed.

I even got a couple of pictures from Marty that made it very clear. I posted it in the file with my first two pictures.

Anyway, I have my answer. THANKS ALL !!!!

Nice picture of the snubber. That is the first one I have ever seen that didn't have the end broken off ----

As a follow up to clear any question in my mind, Wes copied and sent me a few pages from a Jeepster Series Service Manual. In the FRONT AXLE chapter was this info about my question.

"On V-6 engine equipped vehicles, a U-bracket is welded on the right rear side of the axle housing protruding rearward, and mounts a rubber bumper. This torque reaction bumper eliminates axle interference with the engine oil pan on sudden stops of the vehicle by the bumper striking a bracket riveted to the outside of the right front frame channel."
