Cross rust, cap play, or a subtle wobble in the driveshaft on the lift — the 5-280X Universal Joint 1710 BP 1710 Series Bearing Plate style, Greasable 1710BP HEAVY DUTY is what goes in next.

Cap retention style is BP (Bearing Plate (Strap)). Caps are bolted in using a retaining plate. Common on heavy-duty trucks, commercial vehicles, and Jeep applications. More robust under high torque than snap ring styles.

Greasable with standard chassis grease — service every 30,000–50,000 miles for best longevity. Use a quality CV/chassis grease, not wheel bearing grease.. Dimensions: 1.938" cap, 6.094" width. Lube fitting in cross. Confirm fitment by measuring your existing joint — series designation alone isn't always enough on modified or swapped vehicles.
