Detailed Description

Use the SKF UJ479 when servicing the front axle at wheels on Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 models from 2010 through 2024, including configurations with 2-joint or 3-joint rear shafts and flat-faced or serrated front pin flanges where listed.

If you are searching for a Ram 2500 front axle universal joint or a Ram 3500 wheel joint replacement, UJ479 is the cataloged SKF part number to verify against your vehicle configuration.

SKF manufactures driveline joints and related hardware with attention to OE dimensions, material quality, and durability. The UJ479 is intended for driveline repair where the original wheel joint shows wear, looseness, or vibration at the front axle.

Common Repair Uses

  • Front axle vibration during acceleration or turning
  • Clunking or clicking from the wheel-end driveline area
  • Excess play in the universal joint
  • Wear-related driveline noise on Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 trucks
  • Replacement of a damaged or worn front axle wheel joint

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the bearing cap diameter, cap style, and axle configuration before ordering. Match the vehicle’s rear shaft and front pin flange setup to the fitment notes for your Ram 2500 or Ram 3500. Clean the yoke bores thoroughly and inspect related driveline components for wear before installation. For best results, compare the removed joint to the UJ479 and verify all dimensions against the application.

Quality Assurance

SKF designs and manufactures driveline components to high quality standards, with parts produced to meet or exceed original equipment specifications. That focus on OE-level fit and material quality supports long service life and safe operation in demanding truck applications.
