Detailed Description

MOOG 358CT is a universal joint for the drive shaft in Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 applications that call for a 4 plain round bearing design.

This part cross-references Spicer 5-155X for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

• Driveline vibration caused by worn universal joint bearings
• Clunking or clicking from the drive shaft area
• Grease loss or dry-joint operation in serviceable driveline components
• Excess play at the center bearing or rear axle driveline connection
• Maintenance needs on Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 drive shaft assemblies

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify bearing cap diameter, overall length, and bearing style before installation. Confirm whether the vehicle is a Ram 2500 at center bearing or a Ram 3500 at rear axle, since fitment is position-specific. Clean the yoke surfaces, inspect the drive shaft and related hardware for wear, and grease the joint through the fitting after installation.
