Universal Joints
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
U-joints have the following features:
- Lubed-for-life design and require no lubrication
- Equipped with nylon thrust washers (located at each base of the bearing cup) which control end play, position the needle bearing and improve grease movement
- Held in place by snap rings
The U-joints allow the speeding up and slowing down of the driveshafts as the angularity of the driveshaft changes.
