Because you need a partner, not just a part.

When you choose Meritor RN Series universal joints for service, you're getting the same high-quality universal joints used in original equipment drivelines. These u-joints are built to last, and include the following features:

1. Glass-reinforced nylon thrust washers designed to eliminate end galling, adsorb metallic debris, and accommodate varying yoke dimensions while retaining rollers. Lube channels ensure even distribution of lubricant.
2. Center-point cover plate and domed cup minimize weld distortion and control deflection characteristics.
3. Triple-lip sealing system keeps grease in and dirt out. Two internal lips retain grease in the bearings, while one external excluder lip provides an effective barrier against dirt.
4. Precision-ground, large-diameter trunnions over the needle bearing area lower contact stress for increased life.
5. Superior bearing package includes an innovative needle-retention design to ensure correct assembly even when parts are handled aggressively.
6. Protective metal dirt shield effectively deflects water and dirt by providing a sealing surface for the excluder lip.
7. Contoured end rollers optimize stress distribution.
