When a U-joint goes bad, you cannot tell by twisting the driveshaft. A bad U-joint can do damage to the rest of the drive train, especially on 4wd vehicles. I had one go bad on my Silverado that barely made a clunk, but it cracked the adapter case between the transmission and the transfer case. That was no fun to replace. I just replaced the rear U-joint again after about 60k miles, the needle baring were shot under two of the caps.

Wheel hub bearing

The first applications used single row bearings, mounted in pairs. Compared to this type of conventional bearing arrangement, NTN GEN 1 wheel bearings incorporates 2 rows of rolling elements which require no setting (no pre-loading or alignment).

In addition to the cost of the repairs, he had to pay for a tow, and a few weeks later he got a bill in the mail from the Turnpike Authority for the cost of repairing the damage that he had caused to the roadway. IIRC, he had to pony-up more for the road repair than he paid for the u-joint replacement.

In addition, the integration of the bearing in the vehicle can also provide a transmission function in the case of a driven wheel (drive provided via the spline in the bore).

Many moons ago driving to work in Minneapolis, there was a Chrysler with the rear end up in the air, held in place by the broken drive shaft. Just like a pole vault. I guess have a rope along so you can repel to the ground. A lot of cars have a brace across in case the joint breaks, but yeah play in the shaft means shot bearings.

You beat me to it. When I was in elementary school, the father of one of my classmates decided that he could ignore the ominous sounds of a u-joint that was on its last legs. When the front u-joint failed–at high speed–on the NJ Turnpike, his car essentially pole-vaulted.

The advantages of GEN.1: compact, better reliability and simpler mounting process. It is one of the most used wheel bearings.

3rd generation bearings incorporate two mounting functions: attachment to the chassis and the fixing to the disc brake and the rim of the wheel by the flanges incorporated into the inner and outer rings.

This is what the clunk sounds like. I took it to another mechanic who didn’t know what it was, but said I might want to take it to transmission place. II’ve noticed that if I pause in neutral before shifting into drive that there is minimal or no clunk. I also took it to a Toyota who also didn’t know what it was, but didn’t think it was an issue.

Also had a guy who worked for me polevault his new (to him) Lightning during a (street) race. He cleared the guard rail.

As the world leader in OEM wheel hub assembly market share, NTN is dedicated to developing bearings in an aim to support the ever changing needs of the OEM’s.

Again I think we are way over-thinking this. There are needle bearings in each of the four caps. These can become worn. Sometimes they have fallen out that could cause the joint to be loose. I’ve on,y done a couple cars and usually the bearing don’t look very good after a few hundred thousand miles. They are cheap though and only take a couple hours to replace.

It could be the back lash in the rear end or even very low on gear lube… Try calling around and asking shops if they do driveline repairs before you take it to them…

To meet the need for greater simplicity and reduce weight, expected by manufacturers, NTN offers a range of bearings where the inner and outer rings incorporate additional mounting functions: clamps, flanges or mounting holes for easy mounting onto the chassis of the vehicle.

Back to post 10 with the video showing a worn u joint. They don’t have to be that loose though to clunk. Not understanding any connection to steering?

In addition to our OE heritage, NTN also offers a line of OE-quality wheel hubs to the automotive aftermarket under the BCA Bearings product line. Learn more about BCA Bearings here BCABearings.com.

It could just be my bad eyes but I thought I saw movement in the u-joint… It would be better to jack the back tires up off the ground on stands and put the vehicle in neutral and move the driveshaft with your hands…

In addition to the advantage of a Gen 2 hub assembly, the roll-formed versions of the Gen 2.5 have a factory set pre-load which adds to the ease and reliability of installation.

The advantages of GEN.2: reduction in the number of parts, improved rigidity, increase in accuracy and better adaptation to the operating conditions.

Individual U-joints shouldn’t have any noticeable play when twisting on them hands on each side/ The overall linkage from the transmission output, through the driveshaft, then differential, and then axle shaft will normally have some play though. I did that measurement on my truck’s rear wheels recently, around 4 degrees of play at the wheel as I recall.

An incremental evolution of the Gen 2 wheel hub assembly, NTN’s Gen 2.5 hub assemblies offer all of the benefits of the Gen 2 hubs, but are designed for inner ring rotation with a hub spindle installed. Engineered for driven and non-driven wheel applications, the Gen 2.5 can feature either a pressed in or roll-formed assembly.

That’s interesting. I’ve always tested them just by twisting method. My truck has a similar unexplained clunk, and all u-joints pass the twist test. So wondering if maybe it has a hidden u-joint problem? If twisting isn’t diagnostic, is there a method that is?

NTN satisfies more than 30% of the demand for North American OE vehicle production from NTN’s Elgin, Illinois plant. The Elgin plant is the largest manufacturer of hub assemblies in North America, providing more product to OEMs and the Aftermarket than any other single facility. This gives NTN the benefit in the Aftermarket of supplying highly-engineered replacement parts that meet or exceed OE engineering specifications.

I might want to take it to transmission place. … … I also took it to a Toyota who also didn’t know what it was, but didn’t think it was an issue.

When mounting cylindrical or needle roller bearings with an inner ring without flanges or with a flange on one side only, a guiding sleeve should be used.

It’s not that difficult to take a guess it is bad & replace a single u-joint. But my truck’s rear driveshaft has a lot of u-joints. It would be a pretty big chore to replace all of them just b/c one of them might be faulty.

A roller bearing has a higher capacity to carry load in a smaller package. A ball bearing has a higher speed rating for a larger package.

In rear drive cars u joint clunks were fairly common and you just replace the joint. But this is more of a rap than a clunk so hopefully it is just the $20 joint and not the rear end. The joints have bearings in that wear out. You can do it yourself if you like crawling under the car, have some sockets and a big vice, or just have any shop do it and see if the noise goes away.

I found this video, I had the sound OFF so no idea what he said but the video shows what to do once the rear tires are off the ground… Keep in mind any play is bad and any one or more of the u-joint cups on the cross could be bad…

NTN has developed different types of bearings for car manufacturers, depending on the vehicle and the performance requirements. We speak about a generation of bearings, currently called “GEN”.

I have a 2007 Sequoia with 173k miles. There’s a clunk when shifting into drive or reverse. Two mechanics have said it’s the u joint, but don’t worry about it. The last one said there’s usually a little play, but that the sound is normal on an older vehicle.
