Abstract
In a fixed type constant velocity universal joint, a center of each of guide grooves of an outer joint member is offset to a position of being spaced apart from a joint central plane to a joint opening side by an axial distance, and is spaced apart from a joint central axis line to an opposite side in a radial direction with respect to each of the guide grooves by a radial distance. Further, a center of each of guide grooves of an inner joint member is offset to a position of being spaced apart from the joint central plane to a joint innermost side by the axial distance, and is spaced apart from the joint central axis line to the opposite side in the radial direction with respect to each of the guide grooves by the radial distance.
