Can anyone help me find this yoke?

[otterby]

I have an '05 SX-M 1.66 with the GKN driveline assembly. In my infinite stupidity I bent one of the ears on the short yoke while changing u-joints just enough so I now can't get the retaining ring into the slot. I could bend it back but am afraid that if it's even a little out of balance I will do more damage. I can not find this individual yoke anywhere and would like to avoid having to buy the entire driveline if necessary. Can anyone help? Attached is a picture of what I need.

I'll bet if you go to a place that sell brgs and drive line parts you will find it. Take it with you. Did you try calling the manf.?

How in the heck did you bend one of the ears? Never heard of such a thing

I got something in a bind when pressing them out somehow. I broke down and bought the entire driveline to be on the safe side.

The only yoke you can buy individually at the volvo parts store is for the Rockwell setup.

i would recommend calling Volvo and asking them.. from what i can see both of the GKN & Rockwell look the same.. the only difference i think is manufacturer..

I bought the Rockwell yoke, I actually got an awesome deal on e-bay, hoping it would work with the GKN setup. It does not. It does not have the groves for the keepers on the outside of the u-joint caps. I assume it uses the inside retainers so I'd need a u-joint with one side outside retainers and one side inside retainers. I thought about trying to combine two u-joints by switching some caps decided thats probably not a good idea so I just ordered a new driveline.

There shouldn't be much difference after you straighten it out. I wouldn't hesitate to. Maybe a machine shop could straighten and spin test it.
