Full Description
2-53-501U UDS Splined Midship Tube Shaft — 1.375" x 16 Spline, 3.000" x 0.083" Tube
The 2-53-501U is a slip-style splined midship tube shaft manufactured by UDS, Class LD. It features a 16-spline bore at 1.375 inches in diameter (per spline count dia attribute: 16 x 1.500) with a spline length of 5.406 inches. The shaft is designed for a 3.000-inch OD tube with a 0.083-inch wall. The butt diameter is 2.844 inches, the end-to-weld dimension is 8.000 inches, and the bearing diameter is 1.378 inches.

When fitting the 2-53-501U, verify the mating slip yoke bore uses 16 splines at 1.375-inch diameter. The 1.378-inch bearing diameter requires a center support bearing with a matching 1.378-inch ID — note this is smaller than the 1.574-inch bearing used on other stubs in the 3-53 family. Confirm the tube is 3.000-inch OD x 0.083-inch wall before welding.
The 5.406-inch spline length on the 2-53-501U provides substantial engagement depth for suspension travel. The 8.000-inch end-to-weld dimension positions the stub within the two-piece driveshaft geometry. When selecting between midship stubs for 3.000 x 0.083 tube, the bearing diameter (1.378 vs. 1.574) is a critical differentiator — match the center bearing to the stub bearing journal diameter.
