Transmission Cross Shafts
Cross shafts (spiders) for universal joint and differential repair — dimensions and fitment confirmed per inquiry, supply coordinated from China.
What Cross Shafts Do
A cross shaft — also called a spider or universal joint cross — sits at the center of a universal joint, transferring torque between shafts that operate at an angle. In axle differentials, similar cross pins locate the planet gears. Wear on the journals or bearing surfaces shows up as play, vibration, or noise, and the cross shaft is replaced during driveshaft or axle repair.
We coordinate cross shaft supply for auto parts importers, drivetrain repair businesses, and parts distributors. Dimensions and fitment are confirmed per inquiry against the information you provide.
Dimensions We Confirm
Cross shafts are dimension-critical parts. Provide the key measurements below — or a sample or drawing — and the supply side checks them before quoting.
- Journal (bearing surface) diameter
- Overall length across the journals
- Snap ring (circlip) groove position and width
- Grease fitting type and position
- Bearing cap outside diameter
The list above shows what to measure — it is not a size chart. Actual dimensions are confirmed per inquiry.

Application & Fitment
Cross shafts are matched by dimensions and by the joint or differential they serve. We do not publish vehicle application lists or interchange numbers on this site.
Send the universal joint or axle model, the reference number of the part you are replacing, or measured dimensions with photos — the supply side verifies the match before we quote. Fitment is never inferred from appearance photos alone.
Quantity & Quotation
Cross shafts are typically evaluated as kits with bearing caps and snap rings, or as the cross alone — state what you need in the inquiry and availability is confirmed per order.
Both distributor stock orders and repair-shop quantities can be evaluated. Submit the product name, joint or axle model, key dimensions, quantity, and destination country through the quote form.
