59×167.7 Universal Joint 133.144 for Volvo 1651237 MAN 81391266039

Description

59×167.7 Universal Joint for European Trucks

59×167.7 universal joint is a heavy-duty propeller-shaft cross kit associated with CEI 133.144 and important Volvo, MAN and Renault OE numbers. The photographed assembly uses four 59 mm bearing cups, an approximately 167.7 mm over-cup span, four yellow-green seals and two grease fittings installed diagonally on the forged body. The bearing cups also retain the distinctive paired rim notches visible in the product image.

Dimensional references vary slightly by catalog. Some sources publish 59×167.6 mm, the photographed marking represents 59×167.7 mm, and CEI specifies 59×167.8 mm for part 133.144. These values describe the same nominal dimensional family, but a workshop should still measure the removed joint and verify cup retention before approving interchange.

Product Features

• Forged cross body designed for high-torque commercial-vehicle driveline service.
• Nominal 59 mm bearing cup diameter and approximately 167.7 mm overall span.
• Four polished bearing cups with paired end notches and visible seal grooves.
• Four yellow-green oil seals protecting the needle-bearing assemblies.
• Two body-mounted grease fittings for the photographed serviceable configuration.
• Cross-reference coverage for CEI, Volvo, MAN, Renault and selected aftermarket brands.

Installation quality directly influences the working life of a 59×167.7 universal joint. Clean the yoke bores and circlip grooves, keep every bearing cup square during pressing and support the opposite yoke ear. Prevent needle rollers from dropping beneath a trunnion. After installing the retaining components, confirm smooth movement, correct end float, even seal compression and safe access to both grease fittings.

OE and Aftermarket Cross References

Verified reference coverage for the 59×167.7 universal joint family includes CEI 133.144; Volvo 1068253, 1651237, 21464638 and 23686080; MAN 81391266031 and 81391266039; and Renault 7401068253, 7421464638 and 7423686080. Catalogs often omit the punctuation in long OE numbers, so both spaced and unspaced searches should lead to this page.

Additional aftermarket searches include DT Spare Parts 2.34008, FEBI 23832, Auger 118625 and 65130, Sampa 030.1919 and 032.203, Spidan 17446, 19043, U911 and U936, Trucktec 03.34.012, SASS S.000.226 and SLP UJ-237. Iveco 42533785 also appears in multi-brand aftermarket catalogs. Confirm the complete shaft specification before treating any list as automatic fitment approval.

Cross-reference numbers identify purchasing paths, while dimensions determine physical compatibility. Compare cup diameter, full span, cup-end notches, external circlip position, groove width, seal height, trunnion movement and grease-fitting clearance. A matching OE number with a different shaft modification or retention arrangement still requires physical verification.

Photographed Supply Configuration

The photographed 59×167.7 universal joint is shown as one assembled cross with four installed bearing cups, four seals and two diagonal body grease fittings. No loose circlips or additional hardware are shown. This visual configuration should be compared with the removed part when the original package or stamped reference is unavailable.

Typical Applications

The 59×167.7 universal joint family is strongly associated with Volvo F10, F12, F16, N10, N12, FL7, FL10, FL12, FM7, FM9, FM10, FM12, FH12, FH16, NL10, NL12 and NH12 driveline applications. The verified OE list also covers MAN and Renault replacement channels, while aftermarket catalogs additionally show selected Iveco TurboStar and TurboTech vehicles.

For an efficient compatibility review of a 59×167.7 universal joint, send MR Driveline the old OE or aftermarket number, cup diameter, over-cup span, circlip arrangement and clear photographs of the yoke and removed cross. State the truck model, axle or gearbox configuration and whether the propeller shaft has previously been rebuilt.

Why Choose MR Driveline

MR Driveline organizes each 59×167.7 universal joint inquiry around measured dimensions, verified OE references, retention details and photographed construction. This prevents 59×167.6, 59×167.7 and 59×167.8 listings from being separated unnecessarily while still protecting against incorrect interchange. We support distributors and shaft workshops with sample confirmation, private-label packaging and repeat-order control.

FAQ

Are 59×167.6, 59×167.7 and 59×167.8 the same size?

They are catalog descriptions of the same nominal family, but production tolerance does not replace checking the actual cup diameter, span and circlip position.

Which reference number should lead the product page?

CEI 133.144 is the strongest aftermarket number. Volvo 1651237 and 1068253 and MAN 81391266039 are valuable OE search references.

Does the pictured joint have one or two grease fittings?

The photographed version has two fittings mounted diagonally on the forged cross body. Confirm adequate yoke clearance after installation.

What is supplied?

This 59×167.7 universal joint supply image shows one cross with four installed cups, four seals and two installed grease fittings.

What must be checked before ordering?

Verify both dimensions, OE number, cup-end notches, circlip position, seal design and grease-fitting clearance against the removed component.
