A cross member (8) for a Hookes universal joint, comprising a body portion (20) and arms (19) extending outwardly therefrom, is made of a fibre reinforced plastics material including fibres (29) which extend between adjacent pairs of arms of the cross member. Each arm has an internal lubricant passage (11) which is of increasing cross sectional area in a portion (16) towards the free end of the arm, the lubricant passages being formed by use of a lost core during production of the cross member.
