For front-rear-drive car models, if there is a drive shaft, custom universal joints will be installed at both ends of the drive shaft; in the current car half shafts, ball cages are installed at both ends of the half shaft. It also belongs to universal joints; there are universal joints in the steering mechanism of some taxis, and they also appear in pairs.

The universal joint is a component that realizes the variable angle transmission of power between the rotating shafts. The rigid universal joint is more commonly used in cross-shaft rigid universal joint vehicles. The cross-shaft rigid universal joint has simple structure, reliable work, and allows a large angle of intersection between the two connected shafts, and is the most common application in automobiles.

The cross-shaft universal joint transmission adopts double universal joint transmission, the angle α1 between the two shafts of the first universal joint is equal to the angle α2 between the two shafts of the second universal joint; the driven fork of the first universal joint It is in the same plane as the active fork of the second universal joint. Quasi-constant velocity universal joints and constant velocity universal joints allow larger angles between shafts. The bearing has good sealing performance, high efficiency, simple manufacturing process, convenient processing, and reliable work. Mostly used in off-road vehicles.

The replacement of the universal joints of a car is uncertain. It depends on the actual usage. If the universal transmission mechanism is maintained on a regular basis, they will not be broken, so there is no need to replace it. Normally, before the universal joint fails, there will be abnormal noises. Only then will the universal joint be inspected. If a problem is found, Maintenance-Free Universal Joint needs to be repaired and replaced in time.
