PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To detect a knuckle of a constant speed universal joint to an intermediate shaft with an easy means during running of a car. SOLUTION: For a drive shaft 11 connecting a pair of constant speed universal joints 12, 13 with the intermediate shaft 14 so as to be able to transmit torque, targets 19, 20 indicating the posture of the two to the axis line are provided on the outer surface of one of the constant speed universal joints 12 and the outer surface of the intermediate shaft 14. Each coordinates position of the target 19 of the constant speed universal joints 12 and the target 20 of the intermediate shaft 14 is detected with detecting means 21, 22. The knuckle of the uniform universal joint 12 to the intermediate shaft 14 can be calculated with an operating means 23 using the axis vector O of the constant speed universal joint 12 and the axis vector S of the intermediate shaft 14 based on the positions of the detected two targets 19, 20.
