    Abstract: A universal joint may include a joint cross having two pairs of journals arranged at right angles to one another and two joint yokes that each have opposing arms. Each journal may be rotatably mounted in the opposing arms about a journal axis in a journal bearing that has a pot-shaped outer bushing that is fixed in the respective arms and that has an outer pot base disposed opposite an end side of the journal. A convexly projecting contact region may contact the outer pot base. Further, an inner bushing may be fixed on the journal, and rolling bodies may be disposed between the inner bushing and the pot-shaped outer bushing. The convexly projecting contact region may project axially on the end side relative to a surface of the inner bushing that acts as a raceway for the rollable rolling bodies.
