Abstract
A tripot-type universal joint includes a drive shaft mounting a spider with three roller elements disposed in three corresponding guide channels of an outer drive housing. The housing is formed with a retention groove on an inner surface thereof in which a stamped metal retainer is disposed. The retainer includes stop portions which extend along the running surfaces of the guide channels for wedging engagement between the drive rollers and drive channels to limit the outward stroke of the inner drive member and prevent the removal of the rollers from the housing.
