Over time, original u-joints dry out, develop flat spots on the needle bearings, or suffer from water intrusion on the trail, which can lead to bound steering knuckles or catastrophic shaft breakage. This premium replacement unit restores original factory operating strength with trusted Spicer OEM steel-forging construction, using specialized high-density rubber seals to keep clean grease in and abrasive trail mud out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eKit Highlights:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePremium Forged Engineering:\u003c\/b\u003e Precision-machined from cold-formed, high-grade alloy steel and heat-treated to withstand extreme torsional twisting under high-torque towing conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eGenuine Spicer OEM Quality:\u003c\/b\u003e Replaces worn or binding factory front axle universal joints to provide silk-smooth steering response and total power delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSuperior Contamination Protection:\u003c\/b\u003e Features multi-lip, synthetic rubber seals that lock out moisture, dust, and road salt, drastically extending service life on hard-working rigs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eComplete Setup Hardware:\u003c\/b\u003e Includes all necessary replacement snap rings required to securely seat and retain the bearing caps within the factory axle shaft yoke ears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eVehicle \u0026amp; Axle Fitment:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMake:\u003c\/b\u003e Dodge \/ Ram\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eModels:\u003c\/b\u003e Ram 2500 4x4 \/ Ram 3500 4x4 (Single-Rear-Wheel and Dual-Rear-Wheel Trucks)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eYears:\u003c\/b\u003e 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAxle Profile:\u003c\/b\u003e Front American Axle Manufacturing (AAM) 9.25-Inch, 14-Bolt Monobeam Housing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDriveline Series:\u003c\/b\u003e 1485 Series Axle Configuration (Fits Left\/Driver or Right\/Passenger Outer Shaft - Sold Individually)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Spicer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43563540840522,"sku":"PLAT-SPICER-KIT158","price":178.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/5560\/6858\/files\/12_249d6a88-789c-4092-ad5d-522fa3780486.jpg?v=1777818304","url":"https:\/\/platinumperformanceparts.com\/products\/spicer-1485-u-joint-kit-dodge-ram-2500-3500-aam-9-25-14-bolt-front-axle-2003-2009","provider":"Platinum Performance Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
