The three different types of universal joints mentioned are: Single-cardan: This type has one U-joint and is capable of angular movement in one plane. Double-cardan: Also known as a constant-velocity joint (CV joint), it has two U-joints and can transmit power with less angular variation. Constant velocity: This type of U-joint maintains a constant velocity, resulting in smoother power transmission at various angles.

You should carefully inspect the oil seal and, if equipped, the center support bearing. If the oil seal is leaking or the center support bearing is rough or noisy, consider replacing them.
