ABSTRACT:
A universal joint assembly including a cruciform or like structured body having a plurality of spaced apart bores formed therein and a plurality of trunnion pins each rotationally mounted within different ones of the plurality of bores. A retaining assembly movably engages and retains an inner portion of the plurality of trunnion pins. Rotation of each of the trunnion pins relative to the body eliminates the need for any type of bearing assembly being interconnected or otherwise disposed between an outer end of the trunnion pins and interconnected yokes or like cooperative, exterior components conventionally associated with a universal joint assembly.
