U-joints on steering shaft are they they same or are there differences

Post by flau »

Hello I have a Volvo 940 Turbo from 93 and I would like to ask because of some confusion with the parts diagram, the same U-joint that fits the bottom of the intermediate drive shaft would be the same as the top of the shaft? Also how to tell which one of these U-joints is the one that is malfunctioning, thank you in advance.

Hello NYC

THE online Volvo web parts store has great exploded diagrams. Put in your VIN and pull up the steering column picture and grab the part numbers to compare.

You will have to disassemble the unjoints to diagnose. Be careful , they might not be available new anymore
