Key features
- Strap and bolt style yoke
- Supplied as yoke only
- Dana 30 Standard axle type
- Positioned at the front driveshaft at the transfer case
Driveshaft and yoke alignment
The front yoke joins the driveshaft to the transfer case, so its condition affects vibration and how the joint moves through its angle. When the yoke is replaced, inspect the matching universal joint, the driveshaft flange and the seal surface. Play at any of these points can transfer wear to the new part.
Clean the splines and bearing bores before installation, and confirm the yoke sits square on the output shaft. Driveshaft balance is sensitive to position, so mark the orientation of the driveshaft before removal if possible. After installation, check for vibration at speed and inspect the strap and bolt hardware for looseness after a few drives.
- Check the universal joint for play
- Mark driveshaft orientation before removal
- Recheck strap bolts after a few drives
