## 🔌 Function

Forms the cross of the universal joint, carrying the drive torque through its four trunnions and their needle bearings while the shaft angle changes.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Clunk on gear engagement or a knock when trimming
-   Vibration that builds with engine speed
-   Trunnions found brindled, pitted or stepped on strip-down
-   Rust-coloured dust around the bearing caps
-   Joint stiff or notchy when articulated by hand

## 🛠️ Service Notes
