The S3-3-1501KX Slip Yoke is a robust component tailored for high-performance driveline systems, particularly in Spicer applications. With a 1350 Series designation, this yoke stands out due to its specific dimensions and construction. It features a spline diameter of 1.375 inches and includes 16 splines, which are critical for ensuring a secure fit with the corresponding U-joint.
One of the key aspects of the S3-3-1501KX is its center U joint to end measurement of 5.812 inches. This dimension is essential for maintaining proper phasing and alignment within the driveline, especially during suspension travel. If you were to use a yoke with a different spline count or diameter, you risk misalignment and potential failure of the driveline components.
When installing the S3-3-1501KX, keep in mind the following:
- Ensure proper spline engagement depth to avoid premature wear.
- Check the phasing with the opposite yoke to maintain balance.
- Never force the spline entry; this can cause damage to both the yoke and the mating components.
This slip yoke is designed for durability and reliability, making it an excellent choice for those looking to maintain or upgrade their driveline systems. The Spicer notes indicate its compatibility with various applications, ensuring you have a dependable part for your needs.
