Universal Joint for 2002-2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 & More - SKF UJ331C

Keep torque moving through your driveline with SKF u joints like the SKF Universal Joint UJ331C. It is a direct-fit replacement for many listed applications, among them the 1997-2003 Ford F-150 and 1988-1995 Chevrolet C1500. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.

A universal joint links driveshaft sections through a journal cross and bearing cups. This lets the shaft carry torque while it flexes through changing angles as the suspension moves. Depending on the vehicle, UJ331C is cataloged for front, rear and center joint positions. These include the front and rear joints of the front and rear shafts, the rear-shaft center joint, and the intermediate-shaft front joint.

• Thrust washers: designed to prevent metal-to-metal contact, reduce wear and lower overall operating temperature.
• Journal cross: engineered with a solid cold-formed body for better wear and overall strength.
• Bearing cups: heat treated for strength, then precision-ground and case-hardened for durability.
• SKF quality: made from premium materials, built to OE-level tolerances and produced to strict SKF quality standards.

Signs a U-joint may need replacing include a clunk when shifting into drive or reverse, vibration that builds with speed, a squeak at low speed, or rust-colored dust around the bearing caps. If a worn joint is the cause, this unit replaces it.
