The GMB 215-0443 universal joint for the 1983-1989 Ford Ranger and other vehicles carries rotation between driveline shafts while the angle between them changes.
- Built to OE-level tolerances
- Chrome-molybdenum alloy steel for corrosion resistance
- Multi-stage testing prior to 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 between drive and reverse, a squeak, or a vibration that rises with speed. Driveline noise and vibration also come from other worn parts, so a shop should look the joint over on a lift for play and rust-colored dust at the bearing caps before you replace it.
It is listed for a wide range of Ford, American Motors, Hyundai, Mercury and Pontiac models, including the 1990-1997 Ford Aerostar and the 1987-1991 Ford Tempo. If your car isn't named here, look it up in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
