ABSTRACT:
A device for retaining a pair of bearing cups on opposing trunnions on a universal joint cross includes a pair of snap rings and a bearing retainer strap. The snap rings each have an outwardly extending portion formed therein and the bearing strap has groove engaging portions formed at opposite ends thereof by folding over the ends of the strap. The groove engaging portions extend into annular grooves formed in the outer surfaces of the bearing cups. The retaining rings are then inserted into the grooves and the outwardly extending portions engage the ends of the strap to maintain the groove engaging portions in the grooves. The strap is formed with a predetermined length corresponding to a desired spacing between the bearing cups.
