Detailed Description

SKF UJ617 is designed for service work on universal joint and CV driveline assemblies where the ball seat area needs repair. SKF manufactures driveline components for passenger vehicles, heavy-duty trucks, off-road vehicles, and agricultural equipment, with an emphasis on OE-level fit and material quality. This part cross-references MOOG Driveline Products 617 for the same application. Common fitment includes 1999-2006 Jeep TJ and Wrangler, 1999-2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty, and 1999-2004 Ford F-350 Super Duty, along with many Ram 1500, Ram 2500, and Ram 3500 driveline configurations.

What It Helps Fix

• Driveline vibration caused by worn CV ball seat surfaces
• Loose or noisy universal joint operation
• Binding or rough movement in the driveline joint area
• Service issues on Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 rear shaft configurations
• Wear-related driveline noise in Jeep Wrangler and Ford Super Duty applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s shaft configuration, rear shaft count, flange style, and lock-ring style before ordering. Fitment varies by engine, transmission, cab, and rear shaft setup on many Dodge Ram and Ford Super Duty models. Confirm the application against the notes for your exact vehicle, especially on 1997-2009 Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 trucks and 2000-2003 Ford Excursion models. The part number UJ617 should be matched to the existing driveline service requirement before installation.
