GMB 215-0299 front universal joint for the 1997-2012 Jeep Wrangler and other vehicles links the driveline's rotating shafts and lets them turn at an angle.
- Meets or exceeds OEM specifications.
- Chrome-molybdenum alloy steel resists corrosion.
- Multi-stage testing before assembly.
- Heavy duty needle bearings for greater load capacity.
A clunk when you shift or pull away, a vibration that builds with speed, or a chirp from the front driveline can mean a universal joint is worn. A worn wheel bearing, an out-of-balance tire or a loose steering part can be behind the same vibration or noise, so track down the source before you buy a joint.
The 1994-2001 Dodge Ram 1500 and 1994-2001 Dodge Ram 2500 are also on its fitment, with many more besides. If your truck or SUV is not named here, run its year and model through the "Vehicles it fits" section before you order.
