Ford Fairmont Universal Joint
The Universal Joint in the Ford Fairmont automobiles is very essential as it join the driveshaft with the differential to enable required movement when the suspension is responding to irregularities in the road surface. This joint allows for the driveshaft to rotate as it permits change of angle between the components. Usually, the key component of the Ford Fairmont Universal Joint has cross shaped with needle bearings that are located between hardened steel cups held in position by clips. For the years, the Ford Fairmont used the Universal Joints that came with a pre-lube as well as some parts with grease zerks for re-lubrication. The main difference is lubrication with the ability of Universal Joints to be serviced allowing the renewal of grease as the key advantage. The Universal Joint needs to be checked often, because weak joints will make a car rattling and knocking sound and will require to be replaced to keep up optimum vehicle performance.

Ford Fairmont Universal Joint Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How do you remove and reinstall a driveshaft and U-joint on Ford Fairmont?A:Remove the driveshaft and clean away any dirt and foreign matter from the universal joint area. Remove the snap-rings from the U-joint end caps. Use Ford tool T74P-4635 to remove the bearing caps from the U-joint yoke; if this tool or an equivalent is not available, a vise, a selection of sockets, and a quantity of bearing grease are required. Open the vise wide enough to accommodate the U-joint and two sockets, selecting a socket larger than the bearing cup to allow space for the cup to be pushed into it, and a second socket as close as possible in size to the cup's outer diameter. Apply pressure to the vise, forcing the bearing cup from the yoke into the larger socket, then remove the bearing cup from the yoke. Clean the yokes with a suitable solvent, and if the bearings are to be reinstalled, clean and re-grease them, filling the cups one-third full with grease. Using new seals, start the bearing cup into the yoke and press it into position so that the cup is ¾ inch below the yoke surface, then install the bearing snap-rings. Check the U-joint for free movement in all directions and replace the driveshaft to the vehicle.
