Check out 'Geometry' constraints under Animation>Constrain menu. You may want the joint to follow the normal of the surface. If so, check out the 'Normal' constraint in the same menu.
Try parenting the joint to the surface to have it follow predictably.

Good luck!

thx... geometry constraint will work .. better than the normal constraint.. but the problem is when u constraint using the geometry constraint, for make the translate zero.. u have to type three , four time then only it will become zero.. do u have any other idea.. which works like geometry constraint...

thx
