2-28-2187 UDS 1330 Series Ball Stud Yoke

The 2-28-2187 is a UDS 1330 series ball stud yoke designed to fit a 3.000-inch OD x 0.083-inch wall driveshaft tube. The butt diameter is 2.844 inches and the centerline-to-weld dimension is 1.438 inches. The ball stud measures 0.500 inches in diameter by 0.594 inches in length, providing the pivot point for constant-velocity or plunge-style front driveshaft connections.

When fitting the 2-28-2187, verify the driveshaft tube OD is exactly 3.000 inches with a 0.083-inch wall before cutting and welding. The 2.844-inch butt diameter must be concentric with the tube bore at the cut face; measure tube concentricity prior to welding to avoid driveshaft imbalance. The 1.438-inch CL-to-weld is a short dimension — confirm overall driveshaft length calculations account for this.

The ball stud on the 2-28-2187 engages a ball socket or plunge housing at the differential or transfer case end of the driveshaft. Confirm the ball stud dimensions (0.500 in dia, 0.594 in length) match the receiving socket before assembly. This yoke is built to 1330 series U-joint dimensions; use 1330 series joints throughout the assembly.
