Tech Note 1: U-Joint Specs
TK3061 Kit fits 1310 x 1310 Spicer type Double Cardan Constant Velocity Driveshafts with greaseable CV centering yokes. TK3061 includes 3 external snap ring universal joints with with tough, cold-forged crosses made to Spicer 1310 series specifications. The u-joint cup diameter is 1-1/16". The overall width is 3-7/32".

Tech Note 2: Ball Stud Tube Yoke
To successfully rebuild your CV driveshaft with this Kit, the 1/2" diameter stud on your Ball Stud Tube Yoke MUST be in good shape. If it is not, the bearing rollers contained inside the CV Ball of your new centering kit will either fall out or break apart in short order. Besides having your 4x4 broke down again, this type of failure is something we can NOT replace under warranty. Another fairly common no warranty problem is to break a needle bearing by inadvertently dislodging one or more needles during assembly and then forcing the yoke into place.

Tech Note 3: Cold-Forged
Most U-Joint crosses are forged by one of two methods, either hot-forged or cold-forged. Cold-forged crosses are harder and more resistant to wear, but the process is costly compared to hot-forging. For certain applications, such as rear driveshaft u-joints on diesel trucks, the increased wear resistance of a cold-forged cross is very important. These Joints also have very effective o-ring type seals protected by a plastic deflector. The cold-forged cross, excellent seals, and high quality grease means our Torque King® factory-lubed, cold-forged u-joints should easily outlast any greaseable hot-forged universal joint on the market by a considerable margin.

Tech Note 4: Greaseable
TK3061 fits 1994 and earlier 1310 series CV driveshafts that originally had a greaseable CV centering yoke. We do not recommend you use this kit to replace a non-greaseable centering yoke due to possible interference issues caused by differences in the greaseable and nongreaseable Ball Stud Tube Yoke Deflector or Seal.

Tech Note 5: 1987-1994 Jeeps
For 1987 to 1994 Jeeps, you need to verify if your original CV Centering Kit is greaseable or not greaseable. While most greaseable Jeep CV joints of this era will have a lube access hole in the center H Yoke, you may also find some non-greaseable shafts with the same yoke. The real determining factor is if the Ball Stud Tube Yoke has a steel or rubber splash shield/seal. Greaseable Type Shafts have QU40341 steel Splash Shield while non-greaseable shafts use QU40704 outer rubber Dust Seal.

Tech Note 6: Modified/Replaced Driveshaft
Given the age of the vehicles that originally had Greaseable Spicer 1310 CV driveshafts, it is not unusual to find the original CV shaft has been replaced or modified with non-stock parts. If you believe your driveshaft has been modified/replaced with non-stock parts OR the description of our Kit parts does not match what is on your shaft, contact us. We can usually figure out what you have if you send us some photos.
