Are you trying to rebuild your CV joint? I have heard it refered to as a double cardan as well.

Here is a writeup I found in two seconds after I typed "double cardan joint" into google.

Here is a writeup on how to rebuild one. http://www.rblewis.net/personal/bronco/driveshaft/

thanks that is exactly what i wanted to see. or not mine is pretty worn out but it did go back together ok and will last out the rest of the winter and will get totaly rebuilt in the spring.

These joints are used to reduce driveline angles. They do just that and do it well. There's a small screw on these u-joints in place of a grease zerk for clearance. Get a needle fitting for your grease gun and if these are kept lubricated they last for many miles.
