When fitting the 3-28-537U, confirm the tube OD is 3.500 inches and wall is 0.083 inches before welding. The 3.344-inch butt diameter is matched to this tube specification. Note that this is a large-diameter tube application for a 1310 series yoke — the tube wall is thin at 0.083 inches, so proper weld prep and technique are critical to avoid distortion. The 3-28-537U pairs a 1310 series U-joint interface with a large-tube weld connection, a configuration seen in light-duty vehicles with larger-diameter, thin-wall aluminum or steel tubes. Verify the mating U-joint is 1310 series and that the tube material is rated for the intended application before assembly.
