MOOG 494 Greaseable Premium Universal Joint
Upgrade your vehicle's drivetrain with the reliability of MOOG. This heavy-duty universal joint is engineered for dependable, long-lasting performance in demanding environments, including commercial and off-highway applications.
Key Features:
- Maintenance Made Easy: Features a greaseable design with a zerk fitting in the cross body, allowing you to flush out contaminants and moisture to extend the life of the joint.
- Superior Durability: Constructed with cold-forged, case-hardened bearing cups and high-strength steel crosses that meet or exceed OE specifications.
- Advanced Sealing: Equipped with abrasion-resistant nitrile rubber grease seals that use a compressed double lip design to keep dirt out and grease in.
- Optimized Lubrication: The 360-degree radial grease channels in the bearing cups ensure even lubricant distribution to all bearing surfaces.
- Precision Engineering: Precision-ground trunnions (15-25 RMS finish) provide a smooth surface to inhibit premature wear caused by microscopic grooves.
Compatible Vehicles
- Ford F-350: The MOOG 494 fits specific years of the Ford F-350 4WD, particularly around 1989 models.
- Komatsu: This U-joint is widely listed as compatible with various Komatsu (4C - 2 HWD, 2 Round ILR) equipment.
Important Note on Fitment:
Because U-joint compatibility is highly specific to the exact position on the driveshaft and the specific dimensions required, it is crucial to verify fitment before purchase. The MOOG 494 has a unique "2 Round Grooved and 2 High Wing Drilled" bearing cap configuration, which is less common than universal joints with four identical caps.

- Bearing Cap Diameter: 1.125 inches (28.6 mm)
