In words, I can say that it has two swivel points above and below a
universal joint that links the front and rear drive trains. The
important thing is getting the middle of the universal at the centre

the rear half. The flashing light above the cab is on the top of this
axle to control steering.
A picture or two would be worth a few dozen of these words... :-)
