Technical Specifications -- 5006813

Dimensional Compatibility

The 5006813 is dimensionally compatible with all standard Series 1485WJ yokes featuring 1.375"-diameter bore and the ISR snap-ring groove pattern. Confirm that both the transmission-side and axle-side yokes specify Series 1485WJ to ensure correct bearing cup engagement depth and adequate retaining ring seating.

Grease Specification & Inspection

The 5006813 features factory-sealed bearing cups filled with high-temperature synthetic grease at the time of manufacture. No field re-lubrication is required or possible. Inspect joint condition at each service interval by checking for radial play in any bearing cup; replace the joint assembly if perceptible lash is present. Sealed designs are preferred in applications where contamination exposure makes routine greasing impractical.

Interchange & OEM Equivalents

Factory application note for 5006813: SEALED. 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
