ABSTRACT:
A constant velocity universal joint includes an inner race having an outer surface with ball tracks. An outer race having an inner surface with ball tracks corresponding to the ball tracks of the inner race is provided adjacent the inner race. Balls are provided between the ball tracks of the inner and outer races. A stem assembly, including ball pockets and a spherical surface provided therebetween, is secured to the outer race. A cage is provided between the inner and outer races. The cage has apertures for the balls, a spherical surface corresponding with the spherical surface of the stem assembly. The spherical surface is positioned in an abutting condition with the stem, and a spring section is provided between the spherical surface of the cage and the ball apertures.
