3326-356A – Weld Yokes – 1330 Series – Butt Dia 3.257″ – Tube Dia Wall 3.500X0.125

3326-356A -- Snap-Ring Variant, 1330 Aluminum Weld Yoke

The 3326-356A is dimensionally identical to the 3326-35A -- 1330-series, 3.500" x 0.125" tube, 3.257" butt diameter -- but the "-6" suffix indicates the bearing cap bore is machined for an external snap-ring rather than a wing-bearing clip. This matters because a snap-ring cross pressed into a wing-bearing bore will seat too deep, and a wing-bearing cross in a snap-ring bore will not achieve proper preload. Always match the yoke suffix to the U-joint cross retention style.

For this weld yoke, compatible snap-ring crosses include Spicer 5-153X (if produced in snap-ring configuration) and several aftermarket suppliers that catalog both styles under the same part number -- verify the part suffix. The 1330-series rating of approximately 1,400 ft-lb makes this yoke appropriate for light-duty truck front shaft applications with moderate lift.
