Keep torque flowing smoothly from the transmission to the axle with the MOOG Chassis Products Universal Joint (MPN 245). A universal joint connects rotating driveline shafts and lets them transmit power through changing operating angles as the suspension moves. It's a direct-fit replacement for a long list of classic AMC, Chrysler, Dodge, Fargo, Jeep and Plymouth applications — including the 1978-1980 American Motors AMX, 1959 Chrysler Imperial, 1968-1978 Dodge Charger, 1974-1993 Dodge Ramcharger and 1968-1978 Plymouth Fury (all engines) — with a per-application quantity of 1. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full 238-vehicle list.
- Core driveline job: allows the driveshaft to transmit rotary motion through varying angles between components.
- Direct-fit application: replaces the original universal joint on the listed vehicles.
- Per-application quantity: the listed applications use 1; confirm your driveline in the Buyer's Guide.
Signs a universal joint may need replacing include a clunk on acceleration or gear engagement, a vibration that grows with road speed, and a squeaking noise as the joint rotates. Because these symptoms can have other driveline causes, diagnose the source before replacing. If a worn universal joint is the cause, this replaces it.
Interchange: Manufacturer part number 245.
