MOOG Universal Joint Chevrolet Silverado 1500 355 — Greaseable U-Joint, Forged Cross

MOOG 355 is a greaseable premium universal joint engineered to restore driveline smoothness and lasting strength in Chevrolet Silverado 1500 vehicles.

If your Silverado 1500 is showing driveline vibration, clicking, or roughness under acceleration, replacing a worn universal joint with a premium, serviceable unit can restore performance and extend the life of the drivetrain. MOOG designs its 355 universal joint with heavy-duty materials, precise manufacturing, and user-friendly features so installation and future maintenance are straightforward.

How does the MOOG 355 improve driveline performance?

The MOOG 355 replaces degraded or worn ujoints with a component built for strength and consistent motion transfer. Its forged cross and hardened bearing cups reduce play and resist fatigue that causes vibration and noise. Regular maintenance via the greasable fitting keeps bearings lubricated and prevents contamination-related failure.

• Forged steel cross with carburized heat treatment for tensile strength.
• Cold-forged, case-hardened, precision-ground bearing cups for tight tolerances.
• Serviceable grease fitting allows fresh grease to purge debris and moisture.

What makes the seals and greaseability important?

Seals and the ability to re-grease are key for long-term reliability, especially in trucks used off-road or in harsh conditions. MOOG uses a double-lip nitrile rubber seal to keep dirt and moisture away from bearing surfaces. The greaseable design lets you refresh lubrication, flushing out contaminant buildup that shortens ujoint life.

• Double-lip nitrile rubber seals block dirt and moisture ingress.
• Grease fitting allows periodic maintenance without removing the joint.
• New grease helps displace contaminants and maintain smooth rotation.

Will this part fit my vehicle and how do I confirm fitment?

MOOG 355 is offered for many domestic and import applications; fitment depends on year, model, trim and axle specifications. Before purchasing, verify the exact part number against your vehicle’s VIN or use the seller’s fitment tool. If additional notes apply, review them closely to ensure alignment with your truck’s drive components.

• Check vehicle year, make, model, engine, and trim against the fitment listing.
• Use the seller’s confirm-fit feature or consult MOOG fitment charts for clarity.
• When in doubt, compare the old ujoint dimensions and splines to the replacement.

How is MOOG quality validated during development?

MOOG subjects its universal joints to rigorous engineering tests throughout design and production. That testing focuses on durability, seal performance, and dimensional accuracy to ensure consistent operation under load. The result is a component built to factory-level or better standards for heavy-duty applications.

• Comprehensive lab and field testing simulates real-world driveline stresses.
• Precision manufacturing controls ensure repeatable fit and function.
• Materials and heat treatments are selected for long service life under load.

Who is this for? The MOOG 355 greaseable premium universal joint is aimed at Silverado 1500 owners and professional technicians who need a durable, serviceable replacement ujoint. It’s especially useful for trucks that see towing, hauling, off-road use, or high-mileage service where contamination and wear are common. If you prioritize long-term reliability, easy maintenance, and OE-quality construction, this ujoint is built to meet those needs.
