Detailed Product Description

SKF UJ505 is a universal joint for drive shaft repair where correct cap diameter and cap style are critical to driveline alignment. The mixed grooved and plain round bearing cap design helps match the original joint configuration used in select Jeep Wagoneer driveline positions. If you are servicing a 1964-1965 Jeep Wagoneer rear shaft or rear joint, or a 1968 Jeep Wagoneer front shaft front joint with 5.3L or 5.7L engines, UJ505 provides a direct-fit replacement option. This part cross-references Spicer 5-2140X for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

  • Driveline vibration caused by worn universal joint bearings
  • Clunking or clicking from the drive shaft area
  • Excess play in the Jeep Wagoneer rear or front shaft joint
  • Need for OE-style replacement during driveline rebuilds
  • Service issues related to incorrect cap diameter or cap style

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify bearing cap diameter, cap style, and shaft position before installation. Confirm the application against the vehicle’s driveline configuration, especially on 1968 Jeep Wagoneer front shaft front joint models with 5.3L and 5.7L engines. Clean the yoke bores thoroughly and inspect the drive shaft, yokes, and retaining surfaces for wear before assembly.
