Summary:Yoke Shaft is a mechanical component which is mainly used in the steering assembly. They are used to transmit the power or motion of the driveline system. Each automobile consist of different power transmission system depending upon the vehicle’s driveline system. While transmitting the torque the large amount of variable stress is induced in the steering yoke shaft. The objective of this research paper is to study the root cause for the failure of the yoke shaft in steering assembly. For determination of the critical stress formation at the failed section, fatigue analysis is carried out using Finite Element Method. Finally the existing model is evaluated under different crack behaviour condition, based on the life estimation the improvement in the design or fabrication process is suggested
