The driving shaft universal joint fault is mainly caused by the wear of the shaft neck and bearing and the bending deformation of each shaft neck, resulting in that the center lines of each axis of the cross shaft are not in the same plane, or the adjacent two axis center lines are not perpendicular. Because of the universal joint cross shaft journal and bearing wear clearance is too large, the cross shaft in the operation of the rock, so that the Central Line of the drive shaft from its rotating Central Line, so that the drive shaft vibration phenomenon and abnormal sound phenomenon in the operation of the drive shaft. Wear is chiefly due to lack of lubrication.

When the vehicle is running, the direction of torque transfer is consistent, so is the direction of force exerted on the cross shaft. Over time, resulting in unilateral wear of the cross shaft journal; As time goes by, the stress side of the cross axis will be increased wear, grooving, so that the loose sound. The cross shaft can be rotated 90 degrees relative to the original position to extend the service time. In the assembly should pay attention to the oil nozzle side toward the drive shaft, universal joint fork should be freely rotating in the cross shaft, there should be no stagnation phenomenon, there should be no axial clearance. In peacetime maintenance should often note grease, to prevent the lack of grease caused by the cross shaft journal and bearing wear.
