Last crawled date: 7 years, 9 months ago
Universal joints, more commonly known as U-joints, are used in automotive driveshafts and front steer axles where rotational power needs to be transmitted between two misaligned shafts. They are comprised of a central cross with four trunions on which four sealed caps with internal needle bearings ride. The caps are held in place and within the yokes by snap rings.
