What is lubricating the U-joints all about?

U-joints, or universal joints, are found along the driveshaft or driveshafts of a vehicle, at any point where the driveshaft has to change angle or attach to another component such as a differential. This type of coupling is capable of withstanding large amounts of torque. Proper lubrication ensures that these parts don’t experience any excess friction and won’t wear out prematurely.

Keep in mind:

  • If the U-joints show signs of excess friction, they should be thoroughly inspected to make sure they don’t have to be replaced.
  • These parts are under very high stress. Any issue with a U-joint should be addressed immediately.
  • By the time there are noticeable signs that the joints are bad, parts might already be damaged to the point of needing replacement.

How it's done:

  • The vehicle is raised and supported on jack stands
  • The U-joints on all drive shafts and steering shaft are located
  • The Zerk grease fittings on the U-joints are located
  • New grease is pumped into the grease fittings with a grease gun
  • The vehicle is lowered off of the jack stands

Our recommendation:

Consult the vehicle’s manual for any manufacturer suggestions as to how often the U-joints along the drivetrain need to be inspected. Each time they are inspected, they should be lubricated. While the mechanic is underneath the vehicle, they should also inspect the driveshaft and other parts of the drivetrains to make sure that any symptoms of a U-joint issue weren’t actually caused by something else. For example, vibrations could be caused by an unbalanced wheel or damaged tire.

What are the common symptoms indicating you need to lubricate the U-joints?

  • Clicking noise coming from under the vehicle when in gear
  • Vibrations in the vehicle

How important is this service?

This service is extremely important if the vehicle is showing any signs that the driveshaft or U-joint is not functioning properly. These parts are under a massive amount of torque and the failure of a spinning shaft is very unpredictable.

I have a 2017 chevy Trax. I will be at a stop signs and a light comes on saying [engine](/topics-engine-chevy/) speeds are reduced. I then have to pull over turn my car off wait a few minutes and then I can turn my car back on and sometimes it'll go and other times it keeps that light stays on eventually it'll end up going I have the code tester read on it and they're saying that something with my air flow and for me to clean the sensors and air flow. My car also whenever it was low on gas it would do that or when I go and put gas in and fill it up when I first turn on the car it will not want to start or if it does start if I don't have my foot on the gas pedal giving it some power then it will die what is causing this since my boyfriend cleaned everything I haven't had very much problems with it going on and saying engine speeds are being reduced but I still had problems when I filled it up today once I'm on the road for a couple minutes then my vehicle will run fine
