GMB 260-0443 universal joint strap kit for the 1997-2010 Ford Explorer and other vehicles clamps a driveshaft universal joint to its yoke.
- Built to OE-level tolerances
A clunk when you take off or shift, or a vibration that rises with speed, can mean a loose or worn joint. These signs alone don't prove the strap kit is the problem, since a worn slip yoke is another common cause.
As a strap kit for driveshaft universal joints, it also fits the 1990-2011 Ford Ranger and the 1987-1995 Jeep Wrangler. If your vehicle isn't named here, or you need to match an engine, look it up in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
