Cross/Spider: The central cross-shaped piece made of high-strength alloy steel (typically 20Cr).
Bearing Caps (Cups): Positioned on each of the four ends of the cross, these contain precision needle roller bearings to enable smooth rotation.
Seals: Rubber or NBR multi-lip seals designed to keep grease lubricated inside while locking dust and water contaminants out.
"Staked"Design: Unlike traditional U-joints that use snap rings or circlips for retention, this is a staked-in (crimped) style. It is locked permanently into the driveshaft yoke by mechanically deformation/bending of the yoke's metal lip over the edge of the bearing cap.
