Explanation:
Standard translation!
Please note: "Flexible joint", as suggested by my collegue, is NOT a valid translation in a text about motorcars. "Flexible joint" is a design for the same purpose as a universal joint, BUT based on elasticity in the material used at the bend.

universal joint/flexiblejoint,


Explanation:
Drivknut: variant av kardankoppling eller motsvarande som används på
motordrivna fordon. Drivknuten medger att kraft kan överföras mellan axlar som roterar och bildar vinkel med varandra. Drivknutar behövs vid drivning av styrbara hjul (t.ex. på framhjulsdrivna bilar), av individuellt avfjädrade hjul och på drivaxel (kardanaxel) till avfjädrade drivhjulsaxlar.
