2252-681 – Weld Yokes – CVJ Series – Butt Dia 2.375″ – Tube Dia Wall 2.500X0.065

2252-681 UDS CVJ Weld Tube Yoke

The 2252-681 is a CVJ series steel weld tube yoke manufactured by UDS. In a driveshaft assembly, this yoke is welded to a cut driveshaft tube — the weld end seats against or inside the tube, and the yoke ears accept a CVJ series U-joint that connects to the mating yoke at the transmission, transfer case, or differential.

The tube specification is 2.500X0.065 — the yoke bore is machined for a 2.500-inch OD tube with 0.065-inch wall. Substituting a tube with the correct OD but a different wall thickness will produce an incorrect fit at the weld joint. The butt diameter of 2.375 inches is the outer dimension of the yoke at the weld face and determines how the yoke nests inside or butts against the tube end during assembly. The center-U-joint-to-weld dimension is 3.500" inches, measured from the U-joint centerline to the weld face; this value is used when calculating the finished overall driveshaft length after welding. Note: USED FOR IRS SUSPENSION.

Fitment & Installation Notes

Before welding the 2252-681, confirm the tube is 2.500X0.065 — both OD and wall thickness must match the yoke specification. The CVJ series is designed for the specified application range. A CVJ U-joint is required in the yoke ears; do not install a different-series joint. Clean and deburr the tube end before fitting the yoke to ensure a concentric weld bead — off-center welds create vibration and driveshaft imbalance.
