It’s a non-greasable, outside snap ring style joint used in driveshafts to transfer rotational force while accommodating angular movement. With matching 1.375-inch bearing caps on both axes and a 4.178-inch lock-up, it fits heavy-duty truck drivelines and certain 3/4-ton and 1-ton pickups. You typically replace it when you notice driveline vibration, clunking, or visible play in the U-joint caps.
