Yoke Ford 9in Short 1310

The FAST SHAFTS Yoke Ford 9in Short 1310 is a pinion yoke engineered for Ford 9-inch differentials using 1310 U-joints. This steel component serves as the critical connection point between the driveshaft and the differential pinion, transmitting power from the transmission to the rear axles. The short yoke design is standard for many street and performance Ford 9-inch applications, offering a compact profile suited to vehicles with specific tunnel clearance or driveline geometry requirements.

Built from steel in a natural (unplated) finish, this yoke features 28-spline engagement with the differential pinion, a specification that ensures secure, positive power transfer without slippage. The 1310 U-joint cross size is a widely adopted standard in light-duty and moderate-performance applications, providing strength and availability across the aftermarket. Weighing 2.67 lbs, the yoke is substantial enough for reliability while maintaining the lightweight characteristics necessary for driveline balance.

This component is essential for builders and restorers working with Ford 9-inch rear ends, whether in vintage muscle cars, street rods, or off-road vehicles. Proper selection of yoke length is critical—the short configuration suits specific vehicle configurations where standard or long yokes would interfere with the transmission tunnel or create driveline geometry issues. The natural steel finish requires maintenance in corrosive environments but allows for straightforward refinishing or coating application if desired.

Sourcing the correct pinion yoke for your Ford 9-inch differential ensures proper driveline function and safety. This FAST SHAFTS yoke is a direct fit for applications originally equipped with 1310 U-joints and short-yoke geometry, making it an ideal replacement or upgrade component for driveline work.
