Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the bearing cap diameter, outside snap ring dimension, and driveshaft configuration before installation. This joint is specified for rear driveshaft applications with 1.188-inch caps and a 4.178-inch outside snap ring dimension, so matching the original measurements is essential for proper fit. Confirm whether the vehicle uses a one-piece or two-piece driveshaft and whether the service location is at the transmission, rear axle, or support bearing.

For best service life, pack and lubricate the joint according to the vehicle’s maintenance schedule and inspect the yokes, snap ring grooves, and bearing surfaces during replacement.
