Driveshafts with Flanges<\/strong><\/h1>\n

 When it comes to flanges in a driveline, there are a few things to consider like sizing, application & fitment.<\/strong><\/span>First, identify what type of flange we are dealing with.<\/strong><\/span> <\/p>\n

<\/h1>\n

How To Identify Universal Joints<\/u><\/span><\/h3>\n

There are many different series of u-joints. <\/span><\/strong>MDL Supplies a wide selection of U-joints for many different applications.They vary in Series and in Size<\/span><\/strong>If there is a u-joint that we do not stock in our inventory, we can easily order the part for you, along with the rest of your order.<\/span><\/strong>The first thing to identify is whether the U-joint has\u00a0 inside<\/em>\u00a0 or\u00a0 outside<\/em>\u00a0 snap rings.<\/span><\/strong> After identifying the configuration of the snap rings, it\u2019s time to get some dimensions.You will need to find the diameter of one of your u-joint caps. <\/span><\/strong>This applies to both u-joints with inside and outside snap rings.<\/span><\/strong>The next dimension that you need to find, w<\/span><\/strong>ill vary between the two types of u-joint configurations.<\/span><\/strong> \"\"  Outside snap rings<\/u><\/strong> For U-joints with outside snap rings, you will need to measure from the edge of one u-joint cap straight across to the edge of the other u-joint cap.     \"\"  Inside snap rings<\/u><\/strong> For u-joints with inside snap rings, you will see a groove on all the u-joint caps.You will need to measure from the outside edge of one snap ring groove straight across to the outside edge of the other snap ring groove.   <\/p>\n

With these dimensions, it will be easy to identify what series of U-joints you have.<\/span><\/p>\n

  <\/p>\n

Another way to identify a u-joint is by properly measuring the pinion yoke.<\/span><\/p>\n

The diagrams below will show you which measurements to take to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n
