2009 Dodge Viper Universal Joint Parts and Q&A

• Q: How to Install a Universal Joint with Genuine Mopar Parts on 2009 Dodge Viper?

  A: The high torque and strong impact of the vehicle require genuine Mopar universal joints which are better suited for the job than generic U-joints. Study center by using a lot of the lithium-base lube to assist with putting everything in place. Set the spider into the yoke, put in the seals and bearings and drive the bearing caps into the yoke bores to support the spider. Press the bearing caps into place with pliers while using a vise, ensuring you push them in enough for the retaining clips to fit. When the bearing cap is secured, put on the yoke, verify the marks are aligned and then place in the propeller shaft.
