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.

Saturn Vue V6-3.5L - Inspect for sunroof Leak - San Leandro, California
Raul provided great service. He called earlier in the day to ask if he could come earlier than scheduled, he arrived on time (to the newly agreed time slot), he discussed with me the repair need, inspected the vehicle, made required adjustments and reviewed the work done. He noted a couple of actions he took (just incase) the adjustments did not resolve the problem. Great work! Highly recommend Raul!. This was my first experience with this company, and I am pleased and planning to use them again. One thing that I like about this set up is that I get to interact with the ACTUAL mechanic and not a guy at a service desk. My description of the problem to be fixed is not therefore lost to interpretation or otherwise misrepresented on a service sheet that is usually handed to the mechanic in the service bay. And I do miss the days when I (the customer) could walk out to the service bay and have a discussion about my vehicle while it is taken apart in the service bay.
