A universal joint comprises first and second joint yokes having bearing bores at axially opposite yoke arms, and first and second pin bearers, respectively, being connected to the first and second joint yokes via pins inserted into the bearing bores of the first and second joint yokes. The first and second joint yokes are arranged radially at an angle of 90° in relation to each other to form an internal space. The first and second pin bearers are identical and are arranged radially at an angle of 90° in relation to each other, forming a cross member configured to fit within the internal space formed by the first and second joint yokes. An elastic coupling element connects the first and second pin bearers and is configured to fit within the internal space formed by the first and second joint yokes.
