ABSTRACT:
A Hookes universal joint has a yoke (15) which comprises a connecting element (24) and limb elements (28, 29) detachably secured thereto. Each limb element has a bore (31, 110) which receives a respective limb of the joint cross member either with the intermediary of a bearing cup (32) or directly. The limb elements further comprise flanges (34, 123) which face complementary parts of the connecting element, and the flanges and connecting element have inter-engaging splines (38). Bolts (36, 114) hold the limb elements to the connecting element. Lugs (40) on the connecting elements center the cross member in the joint.
