PTC Replacement Staked in U-Joints
PTC Replacement U-Joints for Staked-In Driveshafts
Many import and domestic vehicles come equipped with OE staked-in U-joints, where the universal joint is crimped directly into the driveshaft. While OE manufacturers consider these units non-serviceable, PTC now offers a smarter, cost-saving solution: replacement U-joints designed for staked-in applications.
The OE Problem
Traditionally, if the U-joint on a staked-in driveshaft failed, you were forced to replace the entire driveshaft assembly—a costly and wasteful solution for driveline shops and DIYers alike.
The PTC Solution
PTC’s specially engineered U-joints allow you to remove and replace worn components in “non-rebuildable” driveshafts. This innovation saves time and money while extending the life of the existing driveline.
Key Design Features & Benefits:
- Nitrile rubber seals provide excellent grease retention and contamination resistance
- Induction-hardened bearing caps for increased wear strength and easy installation in tight yokes
- Cost-effective alternative to full driveshaft replacement
Don’t replace the entire driveshaft—swap in a new PTC U-joint and get back on the road faster.
