Universal Joints

GJ0014930Courtesy of JAGUAR CARS, INC.

A Hookes type universal joint is used to connect the rear drive shaft assembly to the rear differential, allowing for angular deviations of the drive shafts due to acceleration and braking.

The joint is bolted to the input shaft of the rear differential with four flanged adhesive screws and is lubricated during manufacture and sealed for life.
