U-joints play a vital role in the drivetrain by allowing the axle to flex and rotate smoothly, accommodating changes in angle between the driveshaft and the axle. They help transfer power from the transmission to the wheels while absorbing movement caused by suspension travel. Positioned between the driveshaft and axle, U-joints ensure consistent torque delivery even on uneven terrain. Without them, the drivetrain would experience excessive wear and potential failure.
The USEP-5014733AA U-joint is designed for use in Dodge and Ram vehicles, including Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 truck models, as well as Dodge Dakota and Ram Van. This steel U-joint fits rear Model 35 axles and is compatible with 3.7L V6 engines and NP/NV242 transfer cases. It features a grease fitting in the body for easy maintenance and is part of the 1330 series propeller shaft u-joints. The quantity required varies with application.
