A tripod type constant velocity joint comprises a housing having three track grooves defined at trisected positions of the housing and extending in an axial direction, and a spider having three -trunnions projectedly formed at trisected positions of the spider to be respectively inserted into the track grooves, each trunnion having a generally oval or elliptical cross-sectional shape and including at least one independent contact surface at each of two opposing sides subjecting to a load. Inner rollers each has an inner surface of a concavely curved contour for receiving a corresponding trunnion therein, and an outer roller is mounted to each inner roller with a plurality of needle rollers engaged there-between.
