Description

GMB 231-0188 rear universal joint for the 2014-2018 Ram 2500 and other vehicles is the joint that lets the driveshaft turn through changing angles while still carrying torque.

Meets or exceeds OEM specifications
Chrome-molybdenum alloy steel for corrosion resistance
Multi-stage testing before assembly for quality control
Heavy duty needle bearings for greater load capacity

A worn joint can show up as a clunk when you pull away or shift between drive and reverse, or as a driveline vibration that grows with speed. Those signs alone don't prove the joint is bad, since an out-of-balance driveshaft can shake in much the same way.

The 2014-2018 Ram 2500, the 2002-2010 Dodge Ram 2500 and the 2008-2009 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 are among the vehicles this joint fits, along with many more. Open the "Vehicles it fits" section and check your exact model and engine before you order.
