2626-25M – Weld Yokes – 7260 Series – Butt Dia 2.344″ – Tube Dia Wall 2.500X0.083

2626-25M UDS 7260 Weld Tube Yoke

The 2626-25M is a 7260 series steel weld tube yoke manufactured by UDS. In a driveshaft assembly, this yoke is welded to a cut driveshaft tube — the weld end seats against or inside the tube, and the yoke ears accept a 7260 series U-joint that connects to the mating yoke at the transmission, transfer case, or differential.

The tube specification is 2.500X0.083 — the yoke bore is machined for a 2.500-inch OD tube with 0.083-inch wall. Substituting a tube with the correct OD but a different wall thickness will produce an incorrect fit at the weld joint. The butt diameter of 2.344 inches is the outer dimension of the yoke at the weld face and determines how the yoke nests inside or butts against the tube end during assembly. The center-U-joint-to-weld dimension is 1.625 inches, measured from the U-joint centerline to the weld face; this value is used when calculating the finished overall driveshaft length after welding.

Fitment & Installation Notes

Before welding the 2626-25M, confirm the tube is 2.500X0.083 — both OD and wall thickness must match the yoke specification. The 7260 series uses 1.062-inch cap diameter U-joints and is standard for light-duty and medium-duty passenger vehicle applications. A 7260 U-joint is required in the yoke ears; do not install a different-series joint. Clean and deburr the tube end before fitting the yoke to ensure a concentric weld bead — off-center welds create vibration and driveshaft imbalance.
