What is a cardan joint?

A cardan joint is a component of the drive system that enables the transfer of torque between shafts set at a variable angle.

What are universal joints?

This is a classic type of cardan joint based on a cross and needle bearings, mainly used in drive shafts.

Where is the universal joint located in a car?

Most often, it is an element of the drive shaft connecting the gearbox to the differential.

Are cardan joints only found in 4x4 vehicles?

No, they are also used in rear-wheel drive cars and in selected designs with other drive configurations.

What determines cardan joint compatibility?

On the vehicle model, engine version, drive type and drive shaft parameters.

Does the cardan joint affect driving comfort?

Yes, it is responsible for smooth and stable power transmission, especially with changing shaft angles.

Can I choose a cardan joint based on the car model?

Yes, this is the basic selection method, which in practice also takes into account the drive type and engine version.
