Customer Success Story We worked with a US steering system integrator in 2024. Their old cast universal joint yoke for Fork and universal joint assembly had a 15.1% annual field failure rate. Main failure modes were cracking and mounting hole deformation caused by continuous vibration between the Intermediate Steering Shaft and Automotive steering gear. After switching to our hot forged universal joint yoke solution: We customized fork width, inner bore size and mounting hole layout for 21 of their pickup and SUV steering projects. Within 12 months, field failure rates related to joint yokes dropped to 1.3%. Customer service tickets for steering shakiness and joint breakage decreased by 82%, and their monthly order quantity rose from 280 sets to 1040 sets.
