Universal joint in which the needle bearing cup surrounding each trunnion of the cross member of the joint has a non-circular cross-sectional shape so that the passage for the needles is smaller in the zones in which the forces are transmitted by the joint than in the rest of the passage for the needles. This is achieved by an interaction between the branch of the material of the yoke surrounding the bore and the cup which deforms the cup in the desired manner. A method is disclosed for achieving this result.
