Dorman - HELP Universal Joint Strap Kit P/N:13862
Keep your universal joints firmly secured with the Dorman - HELP Universal Joint Strap Kit, part number 81020, a two-piece U-joint repair assortment. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 1500, 1987-1995 Jeep Wrangler and 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It is cataloged for both front and rear positions. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list of applications.
Universal joint straps hold the U-joint's bearing caps against the yoke so the joint stays secured as the driveshaft turns. A loose, broken or missing strap can let the joint shift. That may show up as a clunk when shifting into gear or as a driveline vibration. If a failed strap is the cause, this kit replaces it. Inspect the U-joint itself at the same time. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners, whether they may be reused, and torque specifications.
