What Is the 1410 Universal Joint?
When a driveline fault traces back to a worn cross kit, the 1410 universal joint — Jiukai part 9.01 — restores the original torque path. Cap outer diameter 41 mm (1.625″), snap-ring span 108 mm, groove width 1.75 mm: every figure matches the SAE 1410 series standard that governs fitment in Class 4-5 medium-duty trucks, heavy-duty 4WD, and fleet vocational vehicles.
All three OEM references — Spicer 5-1410X, Dana 1410, and Moog 576 — share exactly the same SAE 1410 series dimensional envelope. Our Jiukai 9.01 is manufactured to the same standard and installs without modification into any yoke or flange originally engineered for those references. When you order from universaljoint.net, you receive a part whose every critical dimension has been independently verified against the SAE 1410 specification before leaving the production line.
Common applications for the 1410 series include Class 4-5 medium-duty trucks, heavy-duty 4WD, and fleet vocational vehicles. Well-known vehicle platforms that use this cross kit include the Ford F-450/F-550, Ram 4500/5500, International MediumDuty, Isuzu NPR, Mitsubishi Fuso, among many others. The universal joint size chart above details every SAE series alongside our Jiukai model numbers for rapid identification.
Measure the cap outer diameter (A) and snap-ring span (B) on your existing joint. The 1410 series uses a 41 mm (1.625″) cap OD and a 108 mm span. If those figures do not match, visit the U-joint grease guide to identify the correct series, or contact sales for direct assistance.
Key Features of the Jiukai 1410 Cross Kit
Controlled atmosphere heat treatment establishes a case depth of 0.8–1.2 mm at HRC 58–62 over a softer core. The hard case prevents pitting fatigue under the cyclic Hertzian stresses of the needle rollers; the tough core prevents sudden brittle fracture under shock loads.
The 41 mm (1.625″) cap is ground to h6 tolerance so it enters the yoke bore under hand pressure, then locks rotationally by the snap ring. Unlike oversize caps that spring-load the yoke ears, the correct-tolerance cap does not induce bending stress in the yoke arms during assembly.
With no cage to subtract from the rolling-element count, each bearing cup achieves maximum dynamic load rating (C) for its bore diameter. The result is a rated L10 life that exceeds most OEM specifications when operating within the recommended angle and lubrication interval.
Fleet maintenance schedules routinely specify U-joint re-greasing at 20,000–50,000 km. The 1/4-28 Zerk fitting on this cross kit allows that interval to be honoured without any special equipment or extended downtime, reducing the risk of premature bearing failure between major services.
A dual-stage manganese phosphate and rust-preventive oil treatment provides barrier corrosion protection during the supply chain and initial storage period. Unlike bare-steel cross kits that may show surface rust on arrival, phosphated parts can be installed directly without pre-cleaning.
Production under TS/16949 automotive quality standards includes FMEA, control plans, and measurement system analysis for all critical dimensions. CE certification for the European market is maintained through annual surveillance audits by an accredited third-party registrar.
1410 Universal Joint Dimensions vs Neighbouring Series
The 1350 universal joint below shows your series in context. The highlighted row is the 1410. Use cap OD (A) and span (B) together to positively identify any cross kit — a single dimension alone is insufficient because some series share one value while differing in the other.

| 1310 | 27 | 1.062″ | 74.6 | 5-153X | Light trucks, SUVs, half-ton pickups |

Applications
The 1410 U-joint cross kit is the OEM specification for the following driveline positions and vehicle categories:
- ✓Class 4–5 medium-duty truck front and rear propshafts (Ford F-450/550, Ram 4500/5500)
- ✓Medium-duty box trucks, stake trucks, and flatbeds
- ✓Agricultural 4WD tractor main driveshafts and PTO shafts
- ✓Light coach and shuttle bus chassis drivelines
- ✓Vocational trucks — dump bodies, service cranes, and aerial lifts
- ✓Construction equipment — compactors, graders, and road planers
- ✓Industrial cardan shaft assemblies — conveyors and roller tables
Snap Ring and Packaging
The 1410 series cross kit uses an external snap-ring (C-clip) with a groove width of 1.75 mm. Snap rings are included in every shipment. The ring seats in the groove on the outer face of the yoke bore and is the primary axial retention method for the bearing cap.
An inside-snap-ring variant (suffix -IC) is available for yokes whose ear design does not accommodate external retention. Contact [email protected] for availability and lead times on non-standard configurations.

The 1410 Universal Joint: Medium-Duty Commercial Standard
The 1410 cross kit is the benchmark specification for Class 4 and 5 commercial vehicle drivelines across North America. Its 41 mm cap diameter provides substantially greater bearing surface than the 1350 without requiring the yoke flange design changes associated with the 1480 series, and the 900 Nm peak torque rating covers the full output range of 6.0 to 8.5 litre diesel engines in Class 4 and 5 chassis, including the peak torque events during clutch engagement on steep grades and the sustained shock loading in stop-start urban delivery service. The 1410 is specified as standard by Ford, Ram, Isuzu, and Mitsubishi for Class 4 and 5 medium-duty truck platforms globally.
The most common ordering error for 1410 cross kits is confusion with the 1480, which shares the same 41 mm cap OD but uses a 118 mm snap-ring span versus the 1410 series 108 mm. A cross kit with the wrong span enters the yoke bore but cannot be retained by the snap rings, leaving the caps unsecured under load. Confirming both cap OD and span before ordering takes under two minutes with a vernier calliper and eliminates this error. Urban-service Class 4 and 5 fleets accumulate U-joint cycles three to four times faster per kilometre than linehaul vehicles and should re-grease at every oil-change interval to maintain the 20,000 km re-lubrication frequency recommended for city service.
1410 Universal Joint: Failure Symptoms and Diagnosis
In Class 4 and 5 medium-duty trucks, a worn 1410 universal joint may go unnoticed in early stages because cab sound insulation dampens the initial bearing clunk. Fleet drivers typically report a vibration that appears at a specific speed range and disappears at both higher and lower speeds, consistent with the resonance behaviour of a worn cross kit at a particular bearing clearance level. The most reliable fleet inspection method is the push-pull test: with the engine off and parking brake applied, push and pull the driveshaft longitudinally at each yoke and check for movement greater than two millimetres. Schedule replacement at the next shop visit; do not defer beyond 20,000 km from symptom identification to prevent progressive yoke bore damage that would turn a cross-kit replacement into a more expensive yoke-and-cross combined repair.
1410 Universal Joint Replacement: What to Know
Replacing a 1410 U-joint on a Class 4–5 truck requires a hydraulic press; the 41 mm caps are too tight for a vice-and-socket approach on most yokes. Before removing the driveshaft, mark the flange-to-yoke relationship with paint or a punch mark across both surfaces. After pressing out the old caps and snap rings, measure each yoke bore with a bore gauge. The nominal bore for the 1410 is 41.000 mm; wear beyond +0.050 mm indicates the yoke should be replaced to avoid the new caps rocking under load.
Press the Jiukai 9.01 caps in squarely, confirm the 1.75 mm snap rings seat fully, then reinstall the driveshaft in its marked orientation. Use a torque wrench on all flange bolts; a common torque specification for Class 4–5 applications is 100–130 Nm, but always defer to the vehicle manufacturer’s value. Immediately after installation, grease the new Zerk fitting with NLGI Grade 2 EP grease until purge appears, and schedule the first re-grease at 20,000 km.
Choosing the Right 1410 Supplier for Fleet Operations
Fleet procurement managers sourcing 1410 universal joints for Class 4–5 vehicles need consistent quality across batches, not just a competitive price on the first order. The critical quality checks for 1410 cross kits are: cap OD within h6 tolerance (41.000 –0.013 mm), snap-ring groove width at 1.75 ±0.05 mm, and case depth at 0.8–1.2 mm on the journal bearing surfaces. Jiukai provides CMM dimensional reports and hardness certificates for each production batch, available on request from your sales contact.
