The particular joint known as the Universal Joint is present in GMC Canyon vehicles mainly to provide for connection of the driveshaft to the differential and its capability to allow for the free pivoting of driveshaft in relation to the suspension of the vehicle. This mechanism is useful for maintaining proper duration of vehicle movement since it offsets angle changes while in motion. Usually, a Universal Joint contains a cross with needle bearings placed in hardened steel cups; clips fix these cups. Many GMC Canyon vehicles have used factory lubed U Joints as well as units with grease zerks to allow for re-lubrication. The main difference between them is in the possibility of their maintenance and the ability of U Joints to prolong the durable with the help of this element's grease filling. Worn U Joints cause such symptoms that can be testified to after the inspection such as the clunking noise and vibration hence should be inspected and replaced to allow the vehicle to have the premier performance.
GMC Canyon Universal Joint Parts and Q&A
- Q: How to Properly Service a Universal Joint with an External Snap Ring on GMC Canyon?A:To fix the universal joint start by preparing these tools U-Joint Bearing Separator model J 9522-3 and U-Joint Bearing Spacer Remover tool J 9522-5. Keep the propeller shaft in a horizontal position while supporting it and never fit the tubing in a vise because it damages the shaft. Label the shaft ends before taking out the snap rings with pliers. Lightly tapping on the cup will help the ring exit when it does not come out freely. Set the lower yoke support onto either a 30 mm (1-1/8 in) hex socket head or a 27 mm (1-1/16 in) socket tool. Then use the U-Joint Bearing Separator (J 9522-3) device to push the lower bearing cup out from the horizontal opening. Install the U-Joint Bearing Spacer Remover tool (J 9522-5) when the standard process to remove the bearing cup does not work. Use the propeller shaft rotation to push out the other bearing cup and temporarily note its position for correct reassembly. Look through the bores of the bearing cups and retaining ring grooves for debris then assess each area for irregularities in the surface. Insert one bearing cup into the yoke side then fit the cross over it before pushing the cup until it meets the surface of the yoke. Apply the second bearing cup to its proper location and press it into position while making sure the trunnions line up. After seeing a clear slot in the retainer groove you must press both bearing retainers into place before using a dead blow hammer when needed to fully seat the retainers. The snap ring installation is smoother with a coating of chassis grease for the operation.
- Q: How to replace the universal joint with an external snap ring on GMC Canyon?A:When replacing the universal joint you need to use tools J 9522-3 (U-Joint Bearing Separator) and J 9522-5 (U-Joint Bearing Spacer Remover). Position the propeller shaft horizontally on a standby device to stop any possible harm to the tubing. Make aligning markings on the propeller shaft to guide installation. Press pliers gently on the snap rings to unfasten them and tap the end of the cup gently to lower pressure if needed. Position the lower yoke ear onto a hex socket or socket with 1-1/16 inch head and put J9522-3 over open horizontal bearing cups to push the bearing cup out of the yoke cast. Push J 9522-5 between the seal and bearing cup if the cup does not fully move to remove it. Twist the shaft to force the opposite bearing cup out without damaging it. Note its position to the tube then take off the slip yoke and other universal joint parts. Check if the grooves of the retaining rings and bores for the bearing cups remain clean during this process. First put a bearing cup into one yoke side and then attach the cross. Push the bearing cup until it reaches the yoke ear. You should push the opposite bearing cup through until it locks in position. Verify that the trunnions line up properly before verifying easy movement across all angles. Press down firmly to show the retainer groove on both yoke ears and then put together the bearing retainers while striking with a dead blow hammer if needed to fully seat the parts. You can apply chassis grease to the snap ring for better installation performance.
