A universal joint, also known as a U-joint, is a mechanical component that allows for the transfer of rotational power between two shafts that are not in line with each other. It functions by connecting these shafts and enabling them to move independently while maintaining smooth rotation, making it an essential part of many vehicles' drivetrains. The universal joint is designed to accommodate various angles and movements, ensuring flexibility and versatility in a wide range of applications.
