Keep power moving smoothly through the driveshaft with SKF u joints. The SKF Universal Joint UJ358 is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 2013-2019 Ram 2500, 2011-2019 Ram 4500 and 2011-2019 Ram 5500; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
Depending on the application, UJ358 is cataloged for front, rear and center joint positions. These include the rear shaft front, center and rear joints and the rear center forward and rearward locations. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the position and engine details for your vehicle.
- Thrust washers: Designed to prevent metal-to-metal contact. This helps limit wear and lower the overall operating temperature.
- Solid cold-formed journal cross: Engineered with a solid, cold-formed body for better wear and overall strength.
- Heat-treated bearing cups: Heat treated for strength, and precision-ground and case-hardened for durability.
- SKF quality: Made from premium materials and manufactured to strict SKF quality standards and OE-level specifications.
A universal joint lets the driveshaft carry torque while it flexes through changing angles as the suspension moves. Signs a U-joint may need replacing include:
- a clunk when shifting into gear
- driveline vibration
- a squeak at low speed
- noticeable play at the joint
Other driveline components can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing.
