Are all 1350 U joints the same?
Standard u-joints sizes are classified by series, with each series having specific cap diameter and overall joint width. Typically speaking, a higher series number translates to a stronger joint….Understanding U-Joints.
| U-Joint Series | Continuous Lifetime Operating Torque | Yield Torque |
|---|---|---|
| 1350 | 210 lb-ft | 2,260 lb-ft |
What is the difference between 1330 and 1350 U joint?
The 1310 series u-joint measures approximately 3 1/4 inches wide. The 1330 and 1350 both measure approximately 3 5/8 wide. The 1350 series has a cap diameter of 1 3/16 inch and the body and journals are bigger than the 1310 or 1330.
What size is a 1350 U joint?
Outside Lock U-Joints by Series
| Series | Width | Cap |
|---|---|---|
| 1350 | 3.622 | 1.188 |
| 1410 | 4.188 | 1.188 |
| Handy Measurement Conversion | ||
| 1.062 = 1 1/16 | 2.438 = 2 7/16 |
Can u joint straps be reused?
Do NOT reuse strap or spring tab bolts. Only replace u-joints with genuine Dana Spicer service parts.
Is 1410 U joint stronger than 1350?
They are often found in 3⁄4-ton trucks and allow more angularity than 1310 joints but are only marginally stronger. 1410 joints use a wider body but the same-size caps as a 1350 joint, making them perfect for high-horsepower, high-angle applications.
How do I know what size U joint I need?
You will need to measure from the edge of one snap ring groove straight across to the edge of the other snap ring groove. For U-joints with outside snap rings, you will need to measure from the edge of one u-joint cap straight across to the edge of the other u-joint cap.
What are the strongest U-joints?
Competition-proven to be one of the strongest axle U-joints on the market, CTM U-joints are available for Dana 44 and Dana 60 applications. The company also recently introduced a 1310-series driveshaft U-joint and a 1350-series unit is in the prototype stage.
What is the difference between 1310 and 1350?
Size and strength. The 1310 series joint is what you would expect to find stock in most Jeep or small trucks. A 1350 series joint/shaft is what you might find in many full size trucks. While it’s not 100% accurate, you could say that a 1310 is a “half ton” joint and a 1350 is a “one ton joint”.
What is the difference between a 1350 and 1410 U joint?
1350 joints are found in 1-ton trucks and use the wider body of the 1330 joint but with larger trunnions and caps. 1410 joints use a wider body but the same-size caps as a 1350 joint, making them perfect for high-horsepower, high-angle applications. The two joints split the angle, allowing for greater angularity.
Are U joints reusable?
You can reuse a u joint. If it’s that new, anyway. A vice, a socket that’s the same diameter as the joint caps and a BFH are all I use to swap em out.
Do I need a double cardan driveshaft?
The real benefit to a C. V. (double cardan) drive shaft is smoother operation at higher operating angles and longer life. As any substantial joint angle would cause the pinion to try to speed up & slow down two times per revolution. Causing what is known as a torsional vibration.
