Inside the Original Jeep Quadra-Trac
A common yet often overlooked Quadra-Trac malady is the inner splines stripping inside the differential. Here, the side gear shows splines in good condition, but all the cone gear splines have been worn away by the front output shaft (arrow). The output shaft is harder and never wears, but the stripped splines cause a ratcheting sound on acceleration and will eventually keep the vehicle from moving unless the Quadra-Trac’s differential is locked.
