The Universal Joint is installed in Chevrolet K1500 vehicles to connect the driveshaft to the differential; this moves as the suspension of the car needs to since the road surface. This joint is to allow the driveshaft to rotate in a way that it will adapt the changes in angle between the components. Ordinarily, a Universal Joint comprises of a cross with needle bearings and these are fitted in hardened steel cups which are held in position by clips. K1500 vehicles, for many years, have had both the factory pre-lubricated U Joints and choices with provision for grease zerks. Worn U Joints present many symptoms, from noticeable rattle and clunking when shifting gears to violent vibrations at speed, and therefore require inspection or replacement. Lubricant conditions indicate wear and are usually marked by cracked seals or the absence of clips, and they should be checked often for the proper functioning of the equipment.
