Rolling bearings - Automobile U-joint cross assembly - Specifications
1 Scope
This standard specifies the terms, definitions and symbols, codes, technical requirements, test methods, inspection rules, and marking, rust prevention, packaging, transportation and storage of universal joint cross assemblies for automobile propeller shafts (hereinafter referred to as "assemblies").
This standard is applicable to the universal joint cross assemblies for propeller shafts of medium and light trucks, passenger vehicles and passenger cars. It may also be referred to by the universal joint cross assemblies on steering knuckles of heavy trucks, construction machinery and automobiles.
