What is a slip yoke and why is it important?

A slip yoke connects the driveshaft to the transmission or transfer case. It allows the driveshaft to slide in and out as the suspension moves, accommodating changes in length due to articulation and suspension travel.

What does the 26-spline count mean?

The 26-spline count refers to the number of teeth on the yoke that engage with the output shaft of the transfer case. This specific count ensures it mates correctly with the NP231 transfer case.

Does this slip yoke come with any hardware?

This Omix slip yoke is sold individually and does not include installation hardware. You will need to reuse your existing hardware or source new components separately.
