7290 Series, Inside Snap Ring (ISR): uses inside snap ring retention to hold the bearing caps in place.
Genuine OE quality: tested and proven, and built to meet OE standards set by Dana.
Dana-backed: validated to rigorous OE specifications and backed by Dana design and engineering standards.
A universal joint connects two rotating driveshaft sections and allows them to transmit torque through an operating angle. Depending on the application, this joint serves in the rear driveshaft at the rear axle, rear driveshaft at the transmission, front driveshaft at the front axle, or rear driveshaft at the support bearing. Clunking on acceleration or shifting, a squeak at low speed, or a driveline vibration are signs a worn U-joint may need replacing — diagnose the cause before ordering.
