Where are the U-joints on a transmission shaft?
A descriptive term for a u-joint that links the front of the driveshaft to a vehicle’s transmission output shaft. These fit on the ends of each of the + shaped cross pieces in a U-joint assembly, and are secured with snap rings around their outer edge. Refer to Item #6 in the above illustration.
Which is the U-joint at the center of the car?
Vehicles with 3-joint driveshafts may also see a “Center” u-joint offered. If front, rear, or center is not specified, then both ends of the driveshaft take the same size u-joint (this is so in most cases).
