Yoke Ford 9in Steel Short 1310 Series

The Yoke Ford 9in Steel Short 1310 Series pinion yoke from Precision Shaft Technologies is a heavy-duty driveline component engineered for Ford 9-inch differential applications. This 28-spline steel yoke connects the transmission output shaft to the driveshaft via a 1310-series universal joint, serving as the critical torque-transfer interface in rear-wheel-drive powertrains. Built from natural finish steel, this yoke is designed to handle sustained power delivery in street, off-road, and performance driving scenarios where driveline reliability is non-negotiable.

The 28-spline configuration is the factory standard for Ford 9-inch differentials across multiple model years and engine combinations, ensuring OEM-correct fitment without modification. The 1310 u-joint series designation indicates compatibility with common 1310-series cross-and-needle bearing assemblies widely used in light-duty to moderate-duty applications. At 2.75 lbs and compact dimensions (4.8 x 4.05 x 5.4 inches), this yoke maintains the original geometry and balance characteristics of the driveline. The natural steel finish provides a baseline for paint or coating application, allowing builders to match existing powertrain aesthetics or apply protective finishes suited to their environment.

This pinion yoke is essential for anyone rebuilding, restoring, or diagnosing a Ford 9-inch differential driveline. It serves both as a replacement component for worn or damaged yokes and as an OEM-spec upgrade when original equipment has experienced spline wear or u-joint binding. Whether supporting a street rod, classic muscle car, truck, or performance restoration, correct yoke selection ensures smooth torque transmission and extends u-joint service life.

The Ford 9-inch differential remains one of the most popular and adaptable rear axles in custom and classic vehicle builds. Precision Shaft Technologies focuses on driveline components that maintain proper phasing, spline engagement, and u-joint clearance—details that prevent vibration, premature wear, and catastrophic driveline failure. This yoke is intended as a direct-fit component and should be paired with a properly serviced 1310-series u-joint to ensure optimal performance.
