Spring Tab and Outside Snap Ring Style U-Joint
Measuring Diagram and Series Chart

The u-joint series classifies the size of the universal joint based on the cap diameter and width over the bearing caps.

Over Caps:
When measuring the u-joint, compress the caps and measure from outside of cap to outside of cap. If measuring a yoke, measure from outside ear to outside ear.

Cap Diameter:
When measuring the u-joint cap, measuring the bearing cap diameter. If you are measuring the end yoke, measure the width of the opening where the cap sits in the yoke.

We recommend using a caliper or micrometer to most accurately measure u-joints. U-joint caps must be compressed when measuring over the caps. Once you have recorded your measurements, refer to the dimensional chart to find your series.
