Universal Ball Housing Adjustment |
Proper adjustment of the universal
joint ball housing on closed driveline cars & trucks from 1929-1954
is critical for good operation. This type of joint, if improperly
adjusted, may result in oil
leakage if too loose, or drivetrain noise if too tight. Whenever the
universal joint is opened for any service operation, or should a leak
at this point be experienced, the adjustment should be per�formed with
the ball joint collar oil
seal (cork) removed. Attempted adjustment with this cork seal in place,
whether new or old seal, will give a false adjustment.
The following procedure should be followed in making this adjustment:
1. On passenger cars or � ton pickups remove universal joint ball from
torque tube and on 3/4 ton models, re�move intermediate universal joint
yoke and dust shield and then remove bearing support bracket and rubber
cushion from propeller
shaft housing.
2. Wash the universal ball thor�oughly in cleaning solvent, then
inspect it for roughness. If ball is rough, smooth up with fine emery
paper or if deeply scored, re�place it.
3. Using four new universal ball collar shims as a starting point,
install universal ball and collar. Tighten the four attaching bolts to
8-12 ft. lbs. torque. NOTE: Do not install ball joint collar oil seal {cork) at this time.
4. With attaching bolts tight, place both hands on the universal ball
housing as�sembly at the end of the housing. If the assembly can be
moved and is a snug fit, the torque ball is properly adjusted.
NOTE: If the ball housing assembly cannot be moved by hand or is too
loose, remove the ball collar attaching bolts and remove shims to
tighten or add shims to loosen until proper adjustment is secured.
5. Remove universal ball housing. Install new gaskets at the back of
the retaining collar and the back of the ball housing. Hang the shims
over the ball housing until ready to install the U-joint. Note: 1929-33
ball housings with a
fixed seal at the back will require FS-4356 O-ring seal for
replacement. To install use a screwdriver to remove any cork that
remains between the two flat washers. Clean the housing. Lube and press
the O-ring into the back of the housing
between the two flat washers and install onto the torque tube.
FS-4356 O-Ring Seal - $ .75
FS-125 U-Joint Gasket Set - Standard Transmission - $14.00/Set
FS-125P U-Joint Gasket Set - Powerglide Transmission - $15.00/Set
