Spicer 5-1310X U-Joint Kit 1310/SPL22 Series (OSR)

exactly what i needed to replace the rear u-joint on my swapped in dana 44 for my 1997 TJ

Excelente calidad como se espera de Spicer, quedaron sin problemas en la flecha delantera de mi XJ Cherokee 1995.

Pleased with this purchase, many thanks.

Not sure if they changed the packaging since some of the earlier reviews but mine came with the clips in bags and instructions on those bags. I bought the non greaseable lifetime U joint. It comes pre-loaded with grease in the precise amounts needed to be balanced on all 4 corners. Also it doesn't have holes drilled in for grease nipples so its considered stronger than the greaseable kind. In any case you must not mix up the caps because you can end up moving grease around (hard to imagine that being a problem but I think it can result in seal damage) and you must not add any grease either for the same reason. The different colors for the clips are explained on the bags but they have different thicknesses. Copper colored are standard thickness, the thicker ones are there if you need to take up extra space to prevent the U-joint from having play, and the instructions also tell you to use those in pairs so the U joint is always perfectly centered in the yolk.As far as fitment goes make sure to check your specific application. Older fords that you think use a 1310 U joint actually used a 1310BC - two of the bearing caps are 1310 size and the other two are 1330 size. So make sure youre very clear which size U joint you need and measure cap sizes if needed.I did install with a hammer and impact sockets - but this can be a problem - especially with aluminum driveshafts because you can bend the ears and create binding in the U joint. You're supposed to use a press either a bench top hydraulic press or the heavy duty C clamp style U joint tool.

These are the non-greasable spicer u-joints. Perfect fit for the rear drive shaft on my LJ. Packaging. Had been beat to heck, but the u-joints end snap rings were in perfect shape.
