Installation Notes and Tips

Verify bearing cap diameter, snap ring style, and shaft position before installation. This GMB universal joint uses inside snap rings and is intended for applications that call for a 1.1300 inch bearing cap diameter; several listed fitments note 1.127 inch bearing cap diameter, so confirm the original joint dimensions on the vehicle before ordering. Clean the yoke bores thoroughly, pack or service the joint with the correct grease, and check for smooth articulation after assembly.
