The GMB 215-0153 universal joint for the 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler and other vehicles links sections of the driveshaft and carries torque while the shaft turns at an angle.

  • Built to OE-level tolerances
  • Steel construction for corrosion resistance
  • Multi-stage testing before assembly for quality control
  • Heavy-duty needle bearings for greater load capacity

A worn universal joint can show up as a clunk when you shift or pull away, or as a vibration that rises with speed. A different driveshaft, wheel or tire problem can feel much the same, so have a shop confirm the source before you replace the joint; they can check joint play on a lift. Each listing is one joint, and the quantity a vehicle needs varies by application.

It also fits as a universal joint for the 1983-2011 Ford Ranger and the 2001-2012 Ford Escape. It is listed for a wide range of Jeep, Ford, Chevrolet and GMC models, so if your car is not named here, look it up on the Buyer's Guide tab.
