| FAQ - Answer 1 | Yes. This vibration means that the universal joint bearings have now worn enough to allow the driveshaft to move outside its normal rotational path, causing imbalance and vibration. |
| FAQ - Answer 2 | Yes. Transmission fluid leaking from the rear of the transmission is often the result of a badly worn universal joint. The vibration will wear the transmission tail shaft bushing and damage the transmission output shaft seal, causing a fluid leak. |

Frequently Asked Questions for U-Joint
How do I ensure U-Joint fits my specific vehicle?
Verify your vehicle’s exact Year, Make, Model, Engine Size, and Trim Level using our vehicle selector above.

This component complies with Federal EPA emissions regulations for 49-state legal use.
