Looking for a strange U-Joint name

[Anonymous]

I'm having a brain fart and have forgot the name of what the "U-Joint" that is used on some of the BMW's and Mercedes (no needle bearings in it). It's made a little different and the best I can remember will work at a angles of less than 1*. Anyone?

Messerschmidt joint?

Nor sure, done a google on a Messerschmitt joint but didn't come up with picture. Anyway, what I'm looking for is a joint that can handle 500ft/lbs of torque and can operate at almost a 0* angle without wearing out too quick. I can use cardan joints but the best I can remember these were more suited for straight line operation. Here's a photo but it doesn't give the names.

I'll throw it out there, are you thinking about something like a CV joint?

Guibo ?

Are you talking about the high speed CV joint? The link below shows the replacement for a chevy equinox. I've had to replace a few of them.

How about Rastus.
That would be a strange name for a U-joint :bowdown
