Abstract
A universal joint assembly which prevents the bearing cups from rotating relative to the end yokes during use. In one embodiment of the half round end yoke, retainer straps extending about the outer circumferential surface of the bearing cups are provided with integral flanges. The retainer strap flanges extend across the recessed areas of the associated bearing cups and cooperate with the bearing cup shoulders to prevent relative rotation between the bearing cups and the end yoke.
