Description
Genuine UDS Series 1710 universal joint 5-280XU with 1.938″ bearing cups and greaseable lubrication for reliable driveshaft performance.
Not all universal joints are created equal. The 5-280XU from UDS targets Series 1710 applications where dimensional tolerances and surface finish directly affect NVH levels. Bearing cups at 1.938" diameter, a BP end configuration, and a grease fitting for field maintenance give drivetrain assemblers everything needed for a first-time-correct rebuild.

Series Identification & Cross-Reference
The 5-280XU is dimensionally compatible with all standard Series 1710 yokes featuring 1.938"-diameter bore and the BP snap-ring groove pattern. Confirm that both the transmission-side and axle-side yokes specify Series 1710 to ensure correct bearing cup engagement depth and adequate retaining ring seating.
Lube Type & Service Interval
The 5-280XU includes a grease fitting (Zerk) at the center cross, allowing lubrication with standard NLGI #2 moly or lithium-complex grease. Purge old grease at each fitting until fresh grease appears at all four bearing caps. For on-highway applications, re-grease intervals of 5,000 miles or 3 months are typical; off-road and severe-duty applications warrant shorter intervals. Avoid over-pressurizing the fitting to prevent seal extrusion.
Installation Guidance
Factory application note for 5-280XU: Lube fitting in cross. Verify this cross-reference against the vehicle or equipment build sheet when substituting for an OEM part number. When replacing a worn joint, inspect the yoke ears for wear, the snap-ring grooves for deformation, and the bearing bore for out-of-round condition before installing the new assembly.
- Torque all u-bolt or strap bolts to specification after installation
- Balance the driveshaft assembly if replacing the joint on a high-speed shaft
- Use a press or dedicated cross-kit installation tool to prevent bearing cup misalignment
- Do not strike the cross with a hammer once bearing cups are seated
