What is a U-Joint?

Universal joints connect the driveshaft to the transmission and rear differential, allowing the driveline angle to change as the rear suspension moves. Common signs of a failing U-Joint include clunking noises when shifting between drive and reverse, squeaking at low speeds, and driveline vibration at moderate speeds.

GMB has been a global manufacturer of U-Joints for both OEM and aftermarket applications since 1943, supplying a wide range of vehicles from light-duty passenger cars to heavy-duty commercial trucks.
