How to install the U-Joint bearing

                                                                                    INQUIRY

      U joints or universal joints are located at both ends of a drive shaft and serve the purpose of transferring engine power and torque from the transmission to the drive wheels. Even the toughest U-joints can wear out and show symptoms like clunking sounds when the vehicle is put into gear, as well as vibration. To avoid a catastrophe, install new U joints by following these easy steps.




How to Replace a Worn Out U-Joint


Step 1: Grab ahold of the driveshaft and attempt to move it. There must be no movement, since any movement indicates worn u-joints that must be replaced.
Step 2: Inspect the driveshaft. Look closely for dents, impact damage, or anything stuck to it that could cause vibration from being out-of-balance.



one:  Disassembly of the Driveshaft

First, protect your hands from transmission fluids and other things by wearing protective gloves which may be preferably of plastic or rubber. Lock your vehicle on a jack stand and elevate the back end to avoid flow of fluids when you remove the driveshaft. Indicate the position of the driveshaft to conserve its balance during reinstallation. Disassemble the driveshaft.
TWO : Removing Caps
Unfasten the four holding clips on the caps. Your new U-joints may have come with new holding clips so you do not have to show caution or be gentle. Align your U joint tool with the yoke and twist the bolts until the cross and caps are at a distance which will enable the parallel cap’s removal. Be careful not to drive the cap being used to apply pressure into the other side of the yoke. Separate the yoke from the U- joint tool and the cap that has been pressed through.
