It is a "joint" component of the universal transmission device of the automobile drive system. The combination of universal joint and transmission shaft is called universal joint transmission device. On vehicles with front engine and rear wheel drive, the universal joint transmission device is installed between the output shaft of the transmission and the input shaft of the main reducer of the drive axle; The front engine front wheel drive vehicle omits the transmission shaft, and the universal joint is installed between the front axle half shaft and the wheel, which is responsible for driving and steering.
Universal joint is a very important part of automobile, which uses ball type devices to realize shaft power output in different directions.
The gear oil should be run in for the maintenance of the universal joint cross shaft. Since the lubricating nipple of the needle roller bearing of the universal joint cross shaft is always a common grease nipple, it gives the illusion that it is difficult to add grease to the needle roller bearing for a long time. In fact, it is difficult to add grease to the grease nipple. Lubricating with grease will lead to early damage of the needle roller bearing of the cross shaft.
