Applications

Tech Note 1: U-Joint Specs
QU40775 is a 7290 series u-joint that uses internal C-Clips for retention, has 1-1/8" diameter cups and fits yokes measuring 2-5/8" between the ears.

Tech Note 2: Tech Help
More universal joints and driveshaft yokes are wrecked by slam-bang methods of u-joint replacement than by any other cause. Refer to TM3000 Driveshaft and Universal Joint Manual or TSB3504 Internal C-Clip Single-Cardan U-Joint Service.

Tech Note 3: Grease Regularly
Service intervals for this greaseable universal joint will vary with your driving conditions and type of grease you use, but as a minimum, you should grease your u-joints at every oil change or every three months which ever comes sooner. Lube more frequently in extremely wet conditions or after submersion under water. Remember, a greaseable joint that is not regularly lubed will prematurely fail from water contamination or grease loss. So, if you and your grease gun don't get together very often, we recommend you select the more expensive TK40722 Torque King® premium non-greaseable universal joint which has an average life of 7-10 years due to it's durable cold-forged cross, factory synthetic lubricant, and superior seals which keeps contaminants out.
