The steering shaft universal joint coupling

steering u-joint is a small but important part of the steering system. In most cars with an intermediate steering shaft, there are two u-joint couplings. The top u-joint connects the intermediate shaft to the steering column. The lower u-joint connects the intermediate shaft to the steering rack, see the diagram. To accommodate the steering tilt and telescope function, as well as for crash safety, the steering shaft u-joint must rotate at an angle.

Use of Steering Shaft Universal Joint

u-joint must transfer the steering force from the steering wheel to the steering rack at an angle, without resistance or play. A faulty u-joint can cause looseness or seizing felt in the steering wheel. A vehicle with a bad steering u-joint is unsafe to drive.

Replacement of Steering Shaft Universal Joint

In most cars, it's not very difficult, although the u-joint is often seized on the shaft and might be difficult to remove. In some cars, it's important to mark the steering u-joint position on the steering rack shaft and the intermediate shaft splines, as the new u-joint must be positioned in the same way. In some cars, the u-joint must be replaced with the shaft. It's best to consult the service manual for the vehicle for the proper repair procedure.
