GMB 210-1201 rear rear universal joint for the 1968-1973 Ford Mustang and other vehicles carries rotation through the driveshaft while letting the shaft flex as the suspension moves.
A clunk when you shift between drive and reverse, or a vibration that grows with speed, can mean a worn universal joint. Before you replace the joint, rule out a bent driveshaft or a worn mount, because both can produce a similar vibration.
The 1986-1989 Ford Ranger and 1986-1989 Ford Aerostar also fit it, as do many other Ford and Mercury models. If your car or engine isn't named here, look it up on the Buyer's Guide tab before you order.
