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.

Toyota Solara V6-3.3L - Car is not starting - Houston, Texas
For those who subscribe to the TL;DR mentality- hire Ben- you won't regret it. For those who want the details, read on. My car wouldn't start at the country club, and after thinking through my options, I decided to give Ben my business for the first time. Let's start by saying that the club was NOWHERE near where he drives out from. Nonetheless, he showed up early, and with a happy, steady demeanor. He is an ASE Master mechanic, and he clearly has years of experience to back up the certification. Ben takes a pragmatic approach to diagnosing the issues with the vehicle. He doesn't believe in fixing it if it's not broken. That said, he will check every last link in the chain related to the problem to make sure nothing else presents an issue in addition to the original problem you were facing. In my case, he checked every last component from the fuel system and the feeding components, checked the relevant electrical components, made sure about the small things like terminal connections being solid and uncorroded, fuel was being atomized and cleanly delivered to the proper places, voltage drops were what they should be, and then...the car started. Seeing no further reason to perform more diagnostic, preventative, or actual work on the starting system components, I thanked Ben after he additionally generously rendered his opinion on some oil leaks I had suspected separate from what I called him for, and we went our separate ways. A few hours pass by at the club, and I am finally ready to leave. My car decided not to start again! Ben came right back within an hour! The inescapable conclusion was that the starter had tricked us both earlier, and so he went on an immediate diagnostic dive on that part. He skillfully and carefully removed the necessary parts to access the starter behind the intake in a matter of 10 minutes. He fed a direct current into the starter, and when the engine didn't turn over, it was confirmation of a need for a replacement. He drove me to the parts store nearby on my request, I bought a starter, and he installed it- everything from diagnosis to finish in under an hour. Let's just say I am beyond satisfied. From a price perspective it was cheaper by a country mile than any independent or dealership shop. From a professional perspective his line of logic and the work that he did during both sessions was spot-on and sensical. Personally, he's just a great guy. I certainly tipped him, and I will utilize his expertise again in the future.
