sulzerman Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Hi all I have got a drive shaft where I can push the uj cup in the yoke by hand. I assume this is too loose. I just want to clarify this Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Yes,it needs to be tight in there. You need some oversize circlips....buy plenty, see what you can get in there. Sometimes one, sometimes 4. If the yoke is worn and the cup can turn, the yoke or shaft will need replacing. Bit worrying that the cup moves by hand.

Pete Lewis Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Yes sounds its worn, trouble with a hand press is it could be a nice fit with zero clearance or rattling fit, they are generally a light press fit in a vice or you fight the things all round the workshop tight fit Some cups do rotate in the yoke in use ,,,,but most are tight . Canley sell thicker clips to reduce any end float , but that wont resolve a loose fitting cup diameter if the cup is an easy fit but has no clearance , use it and keep an eye or ear on any deterioration pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juppy Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 The heavy duty UJ's tend to be harder/tighter to fit and may well take up this difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
