The double universal joint comprises two end yokes (1,2) each of which is connected by a spider element to an intermediate connecting device comprising an outer part (14) and an inner part (15) which are interconnected by an elastically yieldable element (16) interposed between the outer part and the inner part. Each of the outer and inner parts (14,15) is made from a curled and welded sheet metal blank or from a tube and includes a corresponding yoke (19,20) for connection of the part with a corresponding spider element (8,7) associated with an end yoke (1,2) of the joint.
