Universal Joints Overview

All Universal Joint parts are identified by the series of the Joint.  In order to determine the joint series, some investigation is required. 

The Type of Cap varies by manufacturer of the component, and often we find that customers are seeking universal joint that are a combination of sizes.  The cap type abreviations we use are:

OSR = Outside Snap Ring - a clip that is on the TOP of the universal joint cap when installed

ISR = Inside Snap Ring - These are known as "C" clips and are installed between the ears of the yoke into a groove in the U-Joint cap.

BP= Bearing Plate - This is a cap with a plate attached to it that is held to the yoke with a bolt.

HWD - High Wing Drilled - Used in Machanics style drivelines has drilled holes in caps

DWT - Delta Wing Threaded - Used in Mechanics style drivelines and has two threaded holes in caps
