I need to replace the cross in a u-joint on a circa 1984 Moto Guzzi drive shaft. The cross is 20x44 mm and is retained in the yokes by Seeger snap rings. This shaft is not readily available as a new part; I have had a drive shaft on back order for almost 1 year.
My existing used shaft shows very slight movement where the needle cups press into the yokes. Suggested methods of restoring an interference fit suggest copper plating of the yokes.
I'm hoping some of the rather insightful folks here might have an idea or two. Any takers?
Ciao,
