QU40769 Performance Non-Greaseable 1310 Series Universal Joint

QU40769 Performance Non-Greaseable 1310 Series Universal Joint with an upgraded design for ultimate strength exceptional performance. 

This new design features:
Enhanced design thrust washer with a low-friction additive to the material decreases stick-slip and provides lower heat generation, friction, and wear due to new geometry. 
Increased trunnion diameter for optimum strength. The addition of a needle bearing and a reduction in grease reservoir depth increases the overall strength and improves stress distribution along the trunnion. 
A quad-lip seal prevents grease purging and outside contaminants from entering the u-joints.
The journal/spider body configuration is optimized to provide smoother transitions, ultimately decreasing stress risers throughout the u-joints.
High-temperature grease provides superior durability, greater water resistance, and is stable across a wide range of temperatures.
