The Mercury Zephyr Universal Joint permits driveshaft flexing that smoothly transmits engine torque to the rear axle. This keeps ride and handling predictable as the suspension rises and falls. Within the confined limits of this connector, the hardened steel cross carries needle bearings housed within four press-fitted cups that are sealed to retain grease. The design is quite simple yet clever as the front Universal Joint connects the driveshaft to the transmission slip yoke, while the rear Universal Joint does the same to the differential flange, allowing for angular variation without binding. Over the years, the Mercury Zephyr lineup has featured two main service styles. One was a permanently lubricated factory Universal Joint. The other was a grease fitting style that accepted fresh lubricant. People appreciated the former for its low upkeep. The latter was valued for its extended lifespan when regularly serviced. Owners of Mercury cars learn to check for red dust and looseness by twisting the shaft and pushing it vertically. The early catching of trouble conserves the properly balanced rotation that the Universal Joint demands. Regardless of whether it is in an early Zephyr wagon or a later Zephyr sedan, keeping each Mercury component clean and tight ensures the joint continues delivering quiet, dependable motion.
