M416 parts

[Wallygator]

Going to start this project soon. My 416 is completely torn down and the suspension bearings, the "C" shaped links, and other suspension parts were toast. I have been trying to find sources for these parts and I must not be looking in the right places. Any links you can suggest would be very helpful.

Also I plan on replacing the axle completely. Is there a way to have electric brakes and the stock hand brake setup? Or is there another way to lock the trailer brakes while it's off the truck? If not then I guess I will just use wheel chuks. Thanks.

There are retailers, forums, and enthusiast groups for these and similar trailers. Have you googled m416, m101, and army trailer?

Had the same issue, switched to regular shackles and bushings from a trailer supply place.

Got mine from kaiserwillys.com. Look up suspension parts for a CJ3A suspension, interchangeable. Make sure to get one left and one right, the threads are opposite. Also have the spring pivot bolts.

Not a state of the art site, but they have m416 OEM parts.
