It looks like “267” in the context of Tata Sumo, Tata 407, and Tata Winger doesn’t refer to a universal drivetrain part like a cross or yoke — it appears in parts catalog listings as a reference or serial number in general parts lists (such as engine mountings, brake posts, etc.), not a specific component across all those vehicles.
If instead you’re referring to the universal joint cross (U‑joint) used in the propeller shaft for those vehicles (which is a common common driveline part for Sumo, 407, and often Winger), here’s a useful consolidated explanation:
🔧 Universal Joint Cross (Propeller Shaft Cross for Tata Sumo / 407 / Winger)
C‑RON Steering cross assembly compatible with Tata Sumo — This is an example of a steering universal joint cross, but the same basic component type applies to propeller shaft U‑joints used on Tata Sumo and Tata 407.
📌 What it is
A universal joint cross (often called a UJ cross or spider) is a four‑armed metal component used in the universal joint assembly of the propeller shaft or steering shafts. It enables two rotating shafts (like the gearbox output and rear propeller shaft) to bend relative to each other while still transmitting torque smoothly.
⚙️ Where it’s used
Tata Sumo (all major models used on propeller shaft universal joints)
Tata 407 (the rear propeller shaft U‑joint cross is used at the driveline joints)
Tata Winger (shares driveline architecture with 407/Sumo platforms — same U‑joint cross sizes often apply)
Typical universal joint cross sizes for these platforms include:
Approx ~30.02 mm bearing diameter × 82 mm cross length for Tata 407 and Sumo propeller shafts.
🛠 Function
Connects two shaft yokes: The U‑joint cross fits between yokes at the ends of shafts and lets them articulate.
Transmits torque: Even when the shafts are at angles due to suspension movement or chassis flex.
