The 1426-17 weld yoke is a robust steel component from the 1100 Series, engineered for light-duty applications. This yoke connects the driveshaft to the transmission or differential, ensuring effective torque transfer. With a butt diameter of 1.625 inches and a tube diameter wall of 1.750 inches with a thickness of 0.065 inches, this yoke is designed to handle the specific load requirements of various British imports.
The centerline to weld distance of 1.500 inches is critical for maintaining proper alignment and ensuring that the yoke can accommodate the necessary axial movement during suspension travel. This feature is particularly important in applications where suspension articulation is significant, allowing the driveshaft to function smoothly without binding or excessive wear.

- Tube Diameter Wall: 1.750X0.065 inches
- Center U J to Weld: 1.500 inches
- Material: Steel
- Series: 1100
When installing the 1426-17, it’s essential to check the spline engagement depth and ensure proper phasing with the opposite yoke. This will prevent premature wear and potential failure. The 1100 Series yoke is a reliable choice for those looking to maintain performance in light-duty driveline applications.
