ABSTRACT:
A universal joint constituted by a first joint, a second joint and a rolling element. The first joint is formed by friction-welding an outer race member and a connecting shaft member. The connecting shaft member has a ring-shaped connecting portion which is welded with a bottom portion of the outer race member. The connecting portion is formed to project from a recess portion of the connecting shaft member toward the outer race member. Therefore, burr generated by the friction welding between the connecting portion and the bottom surface of the outer race member is received in a space defined by the recess portion and the bottom surface of the outer race member. This facilitates removal of the burr.
