Description
1551-26 — Kia/Mazda series, 1.043″ cap, 1.988″ width. Complete greaseable universal joint. Verify cap dia and snap ring style before ordering.
The 1551-26 is a Kia/Mazda series inside snap ring retention universal joint measuring 1.043" cap dia | 1.988" width. The 1551-26 is greaseable with zerk fitting. Every 1551-26 is verified for cap diameter, bearing width, and snap ring groove dimensions before it ships from Universal Driveshafts.
1551-26 -- Kia/Mazda Series Cap & Width Specifications
The 1551-26 specs: 1.043" cap dia | 1.988" width. Cap diameter determines which yoke bore it fits -- the cap must seat fully into the yoke without play. Bearing width (1.988" across the body) controls the span between yoke ears. A cross that is too wide won't fit; too narrow and the snap rings don't seat in the groove. Kia Sportage Front Shaft (2003-2006 models), Kia Sorento AWD Rear Shaft (2007-2010 models), and Mazda RX3 & Cosmo components are available..
Verify the yoke bore diameter against the 1551-26 cap size before installing. The snap ring style (inside snap ring retention) must match the yoke groove pattern -- OSR yokes have an external groove; ISR yokes have an internal groove. The 1551-26 requires a grease gun at installation and at regular service intervals. Correct installation torque on the strap kit or U-bolt is critical -- undertorqued straps allow the cap to walk under load.
Installation Notes for 1551-26
Before installing the 1551-26, clean the yoke bores of any rust, burrs, or old bearing material. The bearing cups must drop in by hand -- never drive them in with a hammer directly on the cup. Use a proper cross-and-bearing installation tool or a press. Driving a cup in at an angle cocks the needle bearings and destroys the 1551-26 before it ever sees load.
After installation, verify full rotation without binding. A binding cross indicates a cup is cocked or seated too deep. The 1551-26 should articulate freely through the full operating angle of your driveshaft before the vehicle is lowered off the lift.
