How to service and repair the driveshaft universal joint on Ford Expedition?

A suitable workbench should replace vise clamping when working on the driveshaft universal joint service and repair. You should index-mark the driveshaft components against the driveshaft tube because this enables accurate balancing for reinstallation. The C-Frame and Screw Installer/Remover device needs to be placed inside a vise before removing snap rings from the U-joint. Use pliers only when required to pull out a bearing cup which resists complete press-out. A procedure to remove the driveshaft flange yoke begins with placing the driveshaft flange into the C-Frame and Screw Installer/Remover while pressing out the bearing cup to rotate the driveshaft flange yoke and then pressing on the spider to remove the remaining bearing cup. Complete U-joint service kits provide the necessary components for end assembly after the yoke area cleaning process of both driveshaft and flange yoke. The C-Frame and Screw Installer/Remover should be fixed in a vise as operators install new bearing cups then position new spiders to press the bearing cups into the yoke surface. The C-Frame driveshaft removal process ends when you install the snap ring then continue with bearing cup installation on the remaining driveshaft sections. Keep direct blows away from the bearings while a brass or plastic hammer should be used for yoke strikes when binding occurs. Verify that the U-joint moves easily as the last step of maintenance.

The Universal Joint in Ford Expedition vehicles plays the function of joining apart of the driveshaft with the differential and allow the driveshaft to oscillate in a manner that is responsive to the movement of the suspension system. This mechanism is important for maintaining proper working of the vehicle and as you must know, the gyro acts as balancer for angles as a vehicle is in motion. Usually a Universal Joint has a cross with needle bearings in it They are contained in hardened steel cups which are held in position by clips. In the course of its production, Ford Expeditions have incorporated numerous U Joint designs, where the widely used and common type are the pre-lubricated factory U Joints, and other U Joints with grease zerks. The primary difference to be drawn between these types is the latter being serviceable and thus requiring to be replaced when worn, while the former can be rebuilt in order to be used again. Daily or frequent checks for wear indicators such as, for example, cracked seals or abnormal sound indicate can affect the effectiveness of the U Joint.
