Detailed Description

GMB 214-0160 is a direct-fit universal joint for rear shaft all-joint service where an outside snap ring style is required. The sealed, pre-greased construction is suited to non-greasable driveline maintenance on Nissan NV2500 and NV3500 vans, as well as Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 trucks with the listed rear driveshaft configurations.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Driveline vibration from a worn rear shaft universal joint
• Clunking or clicking during acceleration or deceleration
• Excess play in the rear driveshaft joint
• Service replacement for sealed, non-greasable factory-style joints
• Noise caused by dry, damaged, or corroded U-joint bearings

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the rear shaft application, snap ring style, and bearing cap diameter before installation. This universal joint uses an outside snap ring design and is intended for rear shaft all-joint positions listed in the fitment data. Verify the driveshaft configuration on Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 models, since fitment varies by 2-joint and 3-joint driveshaft setups. Always inspect the yoke, snap ring grooves, and bearing surfaces for wear before pressing in the new joint.
