The main function of the universal drive shaft is to transmitting torque and rotation movement between two shafts whose relative position is variation in the working process. At the beginning of this century the transmission shaft and cardin joint play an important role in the development of automobile industry. As the development of automobile industry, the automobile demand that the design and verification of transmission shaft and cardin join stricter in the efficiency, intension, durability and noise performance. This graduation design chooses existing production business enterprise of basis is producing the car type(CA1041) of ten thousand to spread to move to equip the conduct and actions design prototype. Under the conditions of the main technical parameters of the given vehicle, installation location of engine, transmission and other major assembly are determined , the structure of the vehicle is analysised, the transmission shaft layout program is determined. Two shaft-three cardin joints is adapted. After determining the transmission options, the right drive shaft and universal joint assembly, intermediate bearing assembly is designed, so that the assembly can be used in normal situations and the life within no failure.
