Universal Joint for 1966-1969 Ford Bronco & More - SKF UJ497

Keep your driveshaft turning smoothly through changing driveline angles with SKF u joints like the SKF UJ497 Universal Joint. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1966-1969 Ford Bronco, the 1968-1969 Jeep J-100 and J-2500, the 1968 Jeep Wagoneer, and several other Jeep J-models. A universal joint links two yokes in the driveline, so the driveshaft can transmit torque as suspension travel changes the driveline angle.

• Bearing cups: Heat treated for strength, and precision-ground and case-hardened for durability.
• Journal cross: Built with a solid cold-formed body, engineered for better wear and overall strength.
• Fit and function: SKF uses advanced manufacturing technology to deliver remarkable fit and function.

Catalog positions: Front shaft front joint, front shaft rear joint, rear shaft front joint and rear shaft rear joint, depending on the application.

A worn u-joint may show several signs. These include a clunk when shifting into drive or reverse, vibration that builds with speed, a squeak or chirp at low speed, or noticeable play in the joint. Other driveline parts can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing.
