Automotive Driveshaft Components

Pat’s Driveline stocks an extensive inventory of Driveshaft Components to fit most domestic and import vehicles, with the capability to manufacture for customer applications.

Companion Flanges

Companion Flanges are used in many automotive applications connecting the driveshaft to the transmission, transfer case and differentials. Companion Flanges are also used to connect a driveshaft to power take offs, hydraulic pumps and other types of auxiliary powered equipment.

Pat’s Driveline stocks Companion Flanges with keyed round bores, as well as splined bores to fit all types of applications. Specialty Companion Flanges are available at Pat’s Driveline. These include Companion Flanges that will convert various non-serviceable driveline designs to a replaceable driveshaft. We also provide Flange Yokes that allow the addition of a constant velocity joint for custom or modified vehicles.

Pat’s Driveline stocks Companion Flanges in many popular brands, such as Spicer, Neapco, Powertrain Industries, Quality Gear and Rockford Drive Line.

Flange Yokes

Pat’s Driveline stocks an extensive line of automotive Flange Yokes to fit domestic and import vehicles with the capability to manufacture for custom applications.

Flange Yokes are commonly used to connect a driveline to the Companion Flange on the transmission, transfer case or differential in a variety of vehicles. They are also used on auxiliary powered equipment attaching to pto, pump, compressor and blower input or output shafts.

Pat’s Driveline’s extensive inventory includes OEM replacement Flange Yokes made by Spicer, AAM, Saginaw, Neapco, Rockford Drive Line, Quality Gear, Meritor as well as many others.

They are available in a variety of bolt patterns, pilots, bolt hole diameters and designs. Some of the available driveline series are:

  • 1000, 1210, 1310, 1330, 1350, 1410, 1480, 1550
  • 1355, 1415, 1485, 1555, 3R
  • 7260, 7290
  • Import, Metric and others.

We stock conversion Flange Yokes for use when a double cardan constant velocity driveshaft is required in place of an OEM design driveline. Flange Yokes are also available to facilitate the removal of a constant velocity joint when that is required.

Custom Flange Yokes can be supplied or manufactured by Pat’s Driveline to suit any application.

  • There are Flange Yokes available in aluminum for high performance applications.
  • Special bolt patterns can be incorporated into our Flange Yokes to adapt to a variety of automotive, industrial, agricultural and power transmission applications.

Pat’s Driveline has an extensive inventory of Flange Yokes in many popular brands, such as Spicer, Neapco, Powertrain Industries, Quality Gear, Rockford Drive Line, Sonnax and many others.

Slip Yokes

Driveline Slip Yokes are used in a couple different ways;

  • As part of a driveline’s length compensation within the driveshaft itself (Inboard),
  • Or for slip travel external to the driveshaft (Outboard), typically on the output of the transmission or transfer case.

Pat’s Driveline has stock on driveline Slip Yokes for all driveline series and applications.

  • This includes 1210, 1310, 1330, 1350, 1410, 1415, 1480, 1485, 1550, 1555, 3R, 7260, 7290, Toyota, Nissan, Suzuki, Mazda and other Metric series.
  • For vehicles made by Chevrolet, GM, Ford, Dodge, Toyota, Nissan, Suzuki, Mazda, Subaru and many others.

The Slip Yoke within a driveshaft that is used for length compensation (Inboard) is a part that experiences wear during operation. Therefore it is important that you use a quality part when building a new driveshaft or replacing a worn component. Pat’s Driveline supplies only the highest quality Slip Yokes for your vehicle or custom application.

Slip Yokes are often used when connecting to transmission and transfer case output shafts (Outboard). This is an important part of the driveline as it also provides the sealing surface for the internal lubrication of these units. At Pat’s Driveline we have an extensive inventory of outboard Slip Yokes for all automotive applications.

Whether it’s an Inboard Slip Yoke or Outboard Slip Yoke, trust Pat’s Driveline to supply the right part for your requirement.

In our inventory are Slip Yokes from all popular manufacturers including OEM, aftermarket and high performance parts from brands such as Spicer, Neapco, Powertrain Industries, AAM, Sonnax, Meritor, Quality Gear and Rockford Drive Line.

End Yokes

The End Yoke is a vital attachment point of the driveshaft within any drivetrain. It important that it is of high quality in both concentricity and balance. This ensures that the driveshaft has maximum longevity and operates smoothly. Pat’s Driveline’s inventory of automotive End Yokes is extensive. We stock End Yokes to fit transmissions, transfer cases, differentials, power take offs and auxiliary equipment.

There are a few methods of retaining the u-joint into the End Yoke utilized by component manufacturers.

  • U-bolt
  • Bearing Strap
  • Bearing Cap

End Yokes used on transmissions and differentials are generally splined, using either a straight cut or involute spline design. They are often designed specifically for the drivetrain component. Pat’s Driveline can also supply a new End Yoke thru measuring your existing part. End Yokes are available for standard universal joint driveshafts and often for the connection of a double cardan (constant velocity) joint. End Yokes can be supplied for the conversion of OEM designed drivelines to a universal joint driveshaft in many SUV and 4X4 applications.

We also carry keyed round bore End Yokes for auxiliary equipment such as pumps, blowers, compressors and other shaft driven equipment. These are available in straight round bores, or tapered round bores. Custom round bore End Yokes are available from Pat’s Driveline to fit your specific auxiliary drive application.

End Yokes are available in all series including:

  • 1000, 1210, 1310, 1330, 1350, 1410, 1480, 1550

Weld Yokes

Weld Yokes are an integral part of the driveshaft and must be in good condition and structurally sound to provide proper u-joint operation and longevity. At Pat’s Driveline we can supply the correct Weld Yoke for your application and install it in our Service Shop if necessary. Weld Yokes are available in a standard u-joint application as well as for constant velocity (CV) joints. In these cases the weld yoke will have either a pin for the centering ball or a socket to house the centering kit.
