Features
- Steel construction for durability
- For securing U-joint to yoke
- Applicable to front and rear propshaft
- Replacement part for 4x4 and 6x6 vehicles
- Essential for safe torque transmission
★ Retaining straps are designed to deform and conform to the U-joint during tightening. Once used, they must be replaced for optimal retention and drivetrain safety.
Application
Suitable for propeller shafts of 4x4 and 6x6 military vehicles. Can be used on both front and rear propshafts where strap-type fixing is employed (as opposed to U-bolt fixing).
Installation notes
Check before fitting whether the yoke has threaded holes (for straps) or plain holes (then U-bolts required). Recommended torque: 15 ft-lbs (approx. 20 Nm). Always use new straps when replacing U-joints — reusing old straps may result in insufficient retention.
Compatibility
IMPORTANT: This is a strap-type retainer. Some yokes use U-bolts instead of straps. Check your yoke type before ordering: yokes with threads in holes = straps; yokes with plain holes = U-bolts required.
Historical context
Strap fixing for universal joints was standard on many WWII military vehicles. This design provides reliable fixing capable of withstanding the heavy terrain use and high loads of military vehicles.
