It has a 1.250-inch diameter, 16-spline end that mates with a slip yoke, while the opposite end is designed to be welded into a 1.750-inch diameter tube with a .065-inch wall thickness. The component allows the driveshaft to change length with suspension movement while transmitting torque. You would replace this part if the splines are worn, the stub is bent or cracked, or when building a new driveshaft.
