The chrome-molybdenum steel cross and nitrile rubber sealing materials are selected for durability in driveline use, while the inside snap ring configuration helps secure the bearing caps in place during assembly.

What It Helps Fix

• Driveline vibration from worn universal joint bearings
• Clunking or clicking noises from the rear shaft
• Excessive play in the driveshaft joint
• Binding or rough movement in the driveline
• Service issues on 1981-1984 Toyota Starlet rear shaft all joints

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify bearing cap diameter, snap ring style, and joint dimensions before installation. The 220-0028 uses an inside snap ring style and is greasable, so the grease fitting should be oriented for access after assembly. Clean the yoke bores thoroughly, inspect for wear or distortion, and confirm the replacement joint matches the rear shaft application on the vehicle.

For 1981-1984 Toyota Starlet rear shaft service, compare the old joint to the new GMB 220-0028 before pressing in the bearing caps. Proper snap ring seating and correct lubrication after installation are important for long-term driveline performance.
