Detailed Description
MOOG 408 is engineered for driveline and axle service where a precise-fit universal joint is needed. The 2.756-inch overall length and 1.024-inch bearing cap diameter match the listed Suzuki OE-series dimensions, while the greaseable construction supports routine maintenance after installation. This makes it a practical replacement for Suzuki Grand Vitara and Suzuki XL-7 driveline repairs when the original joint shows play, vibration, or binding. The MOOG 408 part number is also a useful reference when searching for a Suzuki Grand Vitara rear driveshaft U-joint or Suzuki XL-7 transmission-side universal joint replacement.

- Driveline vibration from a worn universal joint
- Clunking or knocking during acceleration or deceleration
- Binding or stiffness in the driveshaft joint
- Excessive play at the transmission or rear axle connection
- Noise caused by dry or deteriorated bearing surfaces
