Universal Joints

Universal Joints
The U-joints allow the speeding up and slowing down of the driveshaft as the angularity of the driveshaft changes.

The center and rear joints are:
^ a lubed-for-life design that requires no periodic lubrication.
^ equipped with nylon thrust washers, located at the base of each bearing cup, which control end play, position the needle bearings and improve grease movement.
^ staked in place U-joints are not serviced individually. If worn or damaged, install a new driveshaft assembly.
^ snap ring type U-joints can be replaced if worn or damaged.
