GMB Universal Joint P/N:231-0188
GMB 230-0188 rear universal joint for the 2011-2025 Ford F-53 Motorhome Chassis and other vehicles links the driveshaft to the part it drives and lets the shaft keep turning as the angle between them changes.
Vibration at speed, a clunk when you get on or off the throttle, or a squeak from the rear shaft can mean this universal joint is worn, though a worn slip yoke or a bent driveshaft can be behind them too, so find the cause before replacing the joint.
This joint is listed for a wide range of Ford, Chevrolet and GMC models, including the 1999-2018 Ford F-450 Super Duty and the 1999-2018 Ford F-550 Super Duty.
An exact fit snap ring is included.
