This joint is cataloged for front, rear and center positions, including the rear shaft's front, center and rear joints, depending on the application.
- Thrust washers: designed to prevent metal-to-metal contact, reduce wear and help lower the overall operating temperature.
- Solid cold-formed journal cross: engineered for better wear and overall strength.
- Bearing cups: heat treated for strength, and precision-ground and case-hardened for durability.
- SKF quality: made from premium materials, built to match or exceed original-equipment specifications, and produced to strict SKF quality standards.
SKF supplies universal joints, yokes, shafts and related hardware for most vehicles, including heavy-duty, off-road and agricultural applications.
Signs a universal joint may need replacing include a clunk when shifting between drive and reverse, driveline vibration that builds with speed, a squeak or chirp at low speed, or visible play in the joint. If a worn U-joint is the cause, the UJ351A replaces it. Inspect the yokes and driveshaft during the job.
