Ball Stud Yokes

Ball stud yokes appear in applications where the operating angle or the required articulation exceeds what a conventional U-joint yoke can accommodate. They’re used in specific OEM configurations, certain industrial driveshaft arrangements, and custom builds where the geometry of the drivetrain demands a connection that can handle greater angular displacement without binding or inducing the velocity fluctuation that plagues standard U-joints at high angles. Like every yoke in our catalog, ball stud yokes are dimensionally critical components — the stud diameter, ball geometry, and yoke bore all need to be correct for the mating component to operate as designed. We carry these for the applications that require them and can help identify the correct part for unusual fitments.
