A universal joint links two yokes in the driveline so the shaft can keep turning while the angle between them changes. Signs a u-joint may need replacing include a clunk when shifting into gear, a vibration that grows with speed, a squeak or chirp while rolling, and rust-colored dust around the bearing caps. Other driveline parts can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the joint.
This joint is not pre-greased, so grease it through the fitting when you install it. Mounting hardware is not included. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether the originals may be reused. The quantity used varies by application, and some applications use two. Country of origin: United States.
