ABSTRACT:
A bearing cup retainer strap for a universal joint assembly prevents a bearing cup from rotating relative to an end yoke during use. The retainer strap includes a central body portion which has an inner surface adapted to extend about and engage a portion of the bearing cup to retain the bearing cup in engagement with a recess formed in an arm of the end yoke. A friction material is disposed between the inner surface of the central body portion of the retainer strap and the bearing cup. The friction material is adapted to increase the coefficient of friction between the bearing cup and the retainer strap so as to prevent relative rotation therebetween. The retainer strap is relatively simple and inexpensive, and does not require any specific orientation relative to the arm of the end yoke or to the bearing cup.
