Honda CR-V Universal Joints & Parts

A universal joint is widely used as a way to connect a driveshaft and other assemblies such as a gearbox or differential. In order to provide a reliable connection with a constantly changing angle, a typical U-joint consists of a metal cross with needle bearings on its four ends. The bearings are covered with sealed caps protecting them from water and dirt. Some joints come with a grease fitting that allows you to change inner grease with the help of a special gun. However, some joints are lubed at the factory for the whole lifespan and can only be replaced when faulty.

The symptoms of a faulty U-joint generally include clunking sounds and jerking while driving, for instance, when you're pushing or releasing the gas pedal or shifting gears. Besides, there may be vibration at certain speeds, which is caused by the affected balance of the driveshaft. The typical reasons for failure include normal wear and driveshaft misalignment, i.e. the condition when maximum possible angles are exceeded due to suspension modifications.
