5-4X U Joints are essential components for transferring torque between angled shafts. This 1300 Series joint features a cap diameter of 1.062″ and a width of 2.937″, making it versatile for multiple application uses. When installing this U Joint, ensure you check for proper alignment and that the snap rings seat fully. A common mistake is failing to verify that the caps are not binding during installation, which can lead to premature wear or failure.

Before you start, make sure you have the right tools on hand, such as a U Joint press and a torque wrench. This will help you avoid damaging the caps during installation. Remember, a well-greased joint will extend its service life, so consider using a greaseable option if available. If you notice clunking or vibration during operation, it may indicate that the U Joint is failing, often signaled by rust-colored dust around the caps.

• Check for binding before installation.
