GMB 214-1309 Universal Joint

OE-Style Universal Joint for Dodge and Jeep Driveshafts

GMB 214-1309 is a pre-greased universal joint built to meet or exceed OEM specifications for driveline service. It uses an inside snap ring design with 1.1300-inch bearing cap diameters on both axes, making it a direct replacement choice for many Dodge Ram, Dakota, Durango, and Jeep driveshaft applications.

For buyers searching for a universal joint for a 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 rear shaft, a 1993-2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee rear shaft, or a 1978-1986 Dodge D150 rear shaft, this part number 214-1309 provides an OE-standard service solution with the correct fitment details called out by application.

Key Features

• Part number: 214-1309
• Universal joint, inside snap ring style (ISR)
• 1.1300-inch bearing cap diameter on both axes
• Pre-greased for service-ready installation
• Chrome-molybdenum steel cross material for driveline strength
• Machined bearing cap finish
• Nitrile rubber seals with rubber seal finish
• OEM Standard item grade
• Non-greasable design

Detailed Description

GMB 214-1309 is manufactured as an OE-standard driveline component for vehicles that use an inside lock ring or inside snap ring universal joint configuration. The chrome-molybdenum steel cross, nitrile rubber seals, and machined bearing caps support consistent operation in rear shaft and front shaft driveline locations where the original joint uses the same cap diameter and retention style. This part cross-references 2AMD4575AA and V4504575 for the same application.

Compatible With many Dodge Ram 1500, Dodge Ram 2500, Dodge Ram 3500, Jeep Cherokee, and Jeep Grand Cherokee driveline setups, this universal joint is a practical replacement when the original joint is worn, noisy, or showing play at the bearing caps. The 214-1309 part number is also used across older Dodge truck, van, and Chrysler rear shaft applications where the fitment notes specify non-greasable construction and 1.127-inch class bearing cap sizing.

What It Helps Fix

• Driveline vibration from worn universal joint bearings
• Clunking or knocking during acceleration and deceleration
• Loose or sloppy driveshaft movement at the joint
• U-joint noise caused by dry or damaged bearing caps
• Service issues on non-greasable OEM-style driveline joints

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify the application by year, make, model, shaft position, and driveline configuration before ordering.
• Confirm the bearing cap diameter and snap ring style match the original joint.
• Use the fitment notes for rear shaft all joints, front shaft front joint, or rear shaft rear joint applications as listed.
• Inspect the driveshaft yoke and retaining grooves for wear before installing the new joint.
• Because this is a non-greasable design, replacement is the service method when wear develops.

Quality Assurance

GMB states that this universal joint is manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications. The 214-1309 is built as an OEM-standard replacement for driveline service on confirmed Dodge and Jeep applications, including many Dodge Ram and Jeep Cherokee/Grand Cherokee models.
