Applications

Tech Note 1: Conversion
QU40931U can be used to replace Dodge 7260 series yokes by also ordering QU40736 1310 x 7260 Conversion U-Joint plus QU40768 U-Bolt Kit.

Tech Note 2: Design Change
Most older production NP205 non-CV yokes like QU40931 use QU40768 U-Bolt Kit to secure the universal joint cups in the yoke. Late production yokes like QU40746 use QU40735 Strap and Bolt Kit with stamped metal straps and bolts. The main engineering reason for the change was to increase universal joint life by minimizing cup distortion caused by the u-bolts actually deforming the cups when tightened. Ford tried to address this back in the 1970's and 1980' by using larger diameter cups with thicker walls on the 1330F series universal joint. The u-bolts are probably the stronger of the two methods of u-joint retention, but of little real value unless extreme driveline angles or competition reliability are a factor. Except for the 1330F universal joint and with all other factors equal, universal joints secured with straps and bolts will usually outlast ones secured with u-bolts.

Tech Note 3: Upgrade Shaft
For high-performance rear output applications, I recommend you replace your weak original NP205 32 spline rear output shaft with our TK50084 shaft. The redesigned, stronger part which was exclusively used in 1989-1993 Dodge Cummins Diesel Trucks with 5-speed manual transmissions.
