Strength
We have seen another web site touting the 1350 CV to be three times the strength of the 1310 series. This, We believe to be incorrect. Relying on information provided by the manufacturer of the components, our calculation is that the 1350 series joint is about 37.5% stronger than the 1310 series. The 1350 joint is rated for 2,200 pound feet (minimum elastic limit) of torque. While the 1310 series (stock size for most Jeeps) is rated for 1,600 lb/ft torque. The center pivot pin on the weld yoke is the same size (.500"diameter) on both.
