MEASURING U-JOINT KITS
MEASURING U-JOINT KITS REMOVED FROM VEHICLE
1.
Remove the bearing caps.
2.
Remove excess grease from the bottom of the bearing caps and
trunnions.
3.
Remove the seals from the bearing caps or trunnion to ensure
accurate measurements when parts are compressed.
4.
Measure as shown, using tolerance of + .005”/-.005” for
dimensions “F” and “E”, and a tolerance of +.003”/-.003” for all
others.
OUTSIDE SNAP RING STYLE
A) Measure dimension “F” (Figure 1) and write it down.
B) Measure dimension “D” (Figure 1) and write it down.
C) Is there a lube fitting? Is it in the cross or the cap?
D) If more information is needed, measure dimensions “A” and “B”
(Figure 2). These dimensions may vary between manufacturers.
E) Refer to the pages showing Outside Snap Ring Kits.
10
INSIDE SNAP RING STYLE
A) Measure dimension “E” (Figure 3) and write it down. Be sure to
include the thickness of the snap rings. The following method
should be helpful.
1)
Measure from the inner edge of the snap ring groove to the
inner edge of the other as shown by dimension “X”. (Figure
4)
2)
Measure the thickness of one snap ring (Dim “Y”).
Dimension “E” then equals “X” + 2 (“Y”). (Figure 4)
B) Measure dimension “D” (Figure 3) and write it down.
C) Is there a lube fitting? Is it in the cross or the cap?
D) If more information is needed, measure dimensions “A” and “B”
(Figure 2). These dimensions vary between manufacturers.
E) Refer to the pages showing Inside Snap Ring Kits.

LUBRICATION OF U-JOINTS
The function of the lubricant in a U-joint is to protect the surface of the rollers and races from rust of corrosion and
to reduce the friction between the rollers and races.
THE FOLLOWING GREASES ARE RECOMMENDED
An NLGI No. 2 grease consisting of a mineral oil and Lithium soap or equivalent base with EP additives to give
long life characteristics.
Greases approved by Meritor include:
PN-C1AZ 19590 or a grease meeting Ford Motor Company Specification M1C-75B
Kendall L-424 Grease
Amoco Super Chassis
Amalie All-Purpose Grease with Moly, Li-2M
Exxon 5160
Shell Super Duty Special FF
Maralube Moly Code 529
Philube MWEP2 Grease
The center crosses of the U-joints hold a generous supply of lubricant. This stored lubricant is supplied to the
bearing by the centrifugal action of the rotating cross.
LUBRICANT REQUIREMENTS FOR U-JOINTS WILL VARY WITH THE APPLICATION.
Light duty, low angle service may permit “greased for life” initial lubrication only.
Conditions of high angle, high speed or extremely dirty of moist conditions may require daily greasing.
The lubrication of the slip assembly can be done with the same type lubricant and at the same time as the U-joint.
For slip assemblies, an EP chassis grease with a molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) additive has shown good results
in some applications.
