Thanks Stu, yes setting the joint attributes to work without distorting the mesh was a bit tricky, was a fun little model.
Doh!,sorry meant to say universal joints "are" fun and games to put together,have done it a few times.They have those nasty little needle rollers eh

Oh....Ok , I just put a blob of grease inside the end caps to stick those needle bearings in place.
Hey Mike, sorry I missed this before. Great modeling of the U-Joint. How did you manage to not distort the mesh? Curious minds want to know
Yeah, that blob of grease works great on those needle bearings. My ex-wife always hated when I'd wipe the excess grease on my jeans But she hated it more when I used the guest towels

Hi Bill, The joint is rigged with 2 bones. I adjusted the inclusion and exclusion zones to avoid stretching the mesh, I disabled twist (Z) on bone 2, Limits are set on the X and Y axis of the joint not to exceed +25 deg. through -25 deg. of movement.
cool stuff Mike
