PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sliding tripod constant-velocity joint for a propeller shaft in which imbalance caused by eccentricity of the tripod with respect to an outer ring is restrained from becoming aggravating. SOLUTION: Three spring members 80 constituting a centering mechanism urges the center C2 of a tripod 20 shaft so as to make the center C2 agree with a center C1 of the outer ring. Thus, the eccentricity of the tripod 20 with respect to the outer ring 10 is restrained to prevent increase in the imbalance. As a result, a change for the worse in NVH property in a vehicle can be inhibited, and breakage of a propeller-shaft, that may be caused by bending stress to the shaft 2 through imbalance of the tripod 20, can be prevented.
