The Universal Joint in Chevrolet Tracker vehicles plays a very important role of interconnecting the differential to the driveshaft so as to allow for other movements as suspension on the car adapts to the terrain. This joint makes it possible for driveshaft to turn so as to allow changes in the angles between the components. Normally it involves Universal Joint in front and rear of the driveshaft where the front Universal Joint is mated with the transmission slip yoke and the rear one with the differential yoke or flange. The general Chevrolet Tracker Universal Joints involves a cross and needle bearings which are held in hardened steel cups with the aid of clips. While Factory Universal Joints are pre-lubricated, the Universal Joints are available with grease zerk for their maintenance. These problems include noise such as clunking and vibrations which are indicative of damage to the Universal Joints and thus need to be inspected and replaced for efficiency in performance.
Chevrolet Tracker Universal Joint Parts and Q&A
- Q: How to service and repair the universal joint on Chevrolet Tracker?A:To work on the universal joint you first need to remove the propeller shaft from the car. Insert GM P/N 1052864 on all surfaces surrounding the joint bearing caps of the pinion flange yoke before removing its two snap rings. Secure the pinion flange yoke with both sockets that fit onto a soft-jaw vise by gripping it with the 18 mm socket and 24 mm socket at the same time. Clip the 18 mm socket first and adjust force until the bearing cap pops out 3 - 4 mm. Place the exposed portion into a soft-jaw vise to release the pinion flange yoke. Install this technique onto the opposite bearing cap before taking out the pinion flange yoke from the spider. Secure the 18 mm socket to the 24 mm socket and place them in a soft-jaw vise. Tighten until the 2 bearing caps on the propeller shaft yoke become exposed at 3-4 mm. Use the 18 mm socket to take off both bearing caps from the propeller shaft yoke by following the same steps. Eject the spider from the propeller shaft yoke by following the steps to remove the opposite bearing cap. Then inspect both parts of the universal joint system for damage and replace the pinion flange yoke if it does not meet specifications. Any component exhibiting abnormal signs of wear or damage needs an entire universal joint replacement. Gently insert the bearing caps onto the pinion flange and then the propeller shaft yoke to check for damaged needle bearings; replace the whole universal joint when you find problems. When placing the needle bearings in their proper spots will help protect them from harm. Mount the spider component onto the yoke area of the propeller shaft and lubricate both pinion flange yoke joint bearing caps with GM manufactured product P/N 1052864. Fasten one bearing cap onto the propeller shaft yoke while tapping softly until the pinion flange yoke joint spider fits smoothly. Then mount the opposite bearing cap until you can install a snap ring. Put the propeller shaft yoke in place with one snap ring to make sure it lies flat and stable. You can put the opposite bearing cap into the propeller shaft yoke using an 18 mm socket with a 24 mm socket in a soft-jaw vise until the snap ring can be installed. Then, put the second snap ring and check if the bearing caps are properly seated. Position the pinion flange yoke on the spider before putting on the bearing cap into the pinion flange yoke while tapping it carefully. Force the opposite bearing cap into the pinion flange yoke until you can add a snap ring and check that it is correctly positioned. Push the bearing cap into the pinion flange yoke with an 18 mm and a 24 mm socket wedged in a soft-jaw vise until a snap ring can fit. Set the snap ring properly and inspect the element. Fit the propeller shaft into its designated vehicle position.
