🔩 Specifications & Build Quality The RUJ-2038 features 27.4mm bearing caps and a 54mm groove-to-groove width, designed specifically for internal circlip configurations.

It fits both the front and rear tailshaft positions, making it a versatile solution for full driveline restoration.

⚙️ Installation & Maintenance Installation is straightforward for experienced technicians and DIY enthusiasts. The internal circlip design ensures a snug fit, while the joint’s greaseable configuration allows for easy maintenance. Regular lubrication helps maintain optimal performance and extend the joint’s lifespan, especially in high-mileage or off-road conditions.
