Yoke straps, 60/14bolt
- Thread starter tacoma
- Start date
I thought the 14bff was unique in having those *(&@#^*(#! straps, and normal yokes had U-bolts.
For the 14bff straps, NAPA should know PUJ49210, or just 49210.
Looks like the U-bolts for the front are 32910. If in doubt, measure the U-joint cap diameter -- even the $15 cheapo HF caliper works well for this. If your parts house of choice doesn't have the thing by application, their catalog should list what U-joints it fits by part # as well as dimension.

The ones Napa sold me were really close...but not the same. I've broken three of them. I had to get the correct ones at a dealer. $6 each. The Napa ones worked fine till I got into the loud pedal.
You know, now that you mention it, I seem to recall getting a set at the dealer. Maybe.
I know I got some motor parts and crush sleeves there... they say the memory is the second thing to go...

Go to Sixstates on 15th south and 300 west. They have all you need.So before I drive myself insane trying to find these, anyone have a NAPA or other part number for the straps for a 60 and 14 bolt? Neither of my yokes are so equipped.
Thanks in advance.
I would actually say that the straps are much more common than the u-bolts, especially in later years.
The OEM's switched to straps because the mechanics at the dealerships would overtighten the u-bolts and crush the u-joint, causing failure in short order.
You can't crush the u-joint cap with straps, even if they are more prone to failure. Sucks for us, better for them I guess.
Six States it is then...... I remember from teh 14bolt bible that the proper straps are probably going to be dealer-only, but the local dealer will help me.
I need to see about some PTO's too, so Six States will do just fine.
