Spicer 5-160X 1410 Series Greaseable Universal Joint (OSR Style)

Restore smooth operation, eliminate highway driveline vibrations, and preserve long-term serviceability with this genuine Spicer 5-160X 1410 Series Universal Joint. Engineered as a high-durability, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement component, this Outside Snap Ring (OSR) universal joint is designed to safely handle heavy rotational torque profiles across a broad spectrum of light-to-medium duty trucks, SUVs, and performance vehicles.

On hard-working trucks and off-road 4x4s, the 1410 series is widely trusted for its structural strength and increased angular operating capacity over smaller series designs. Over high mileage, intensive commercial towing, or demanding trail use, the internal needle rollers inside the u-joint bearing caps experience natural friction wear and moisture exposure. A compromised universal joint introduces structural slack into your driveshaft assembly, resulting in a persistent chassis shudder under load, a high-pitched squeak at low speeds, or a harsh metal clunking sound when shifting into gear. Replacing a loose joint early helps prevent severe on-road component failure, protecting your transmission tailshaft, transfer case, and vehicle undercarriage from secondary damage.

Precision-manufactured by Dana Spicer, the industry gold standard in drivetrain technology, the 5-160X is forged from premium-grade alloy steel for outstanding fatigue resistance and high torsional rigidity. This classic cross design features an integrated, centralized grease zerk fitting, enabling you to manually flush out old grease, road salt, and trail grime during routine maintenance intervals. Case-hardened bearing cups house precision needle rollers and robust multi-lip elastomeric rubber seals to maximize lubrication retention while keeping environmental contaminants permanently locked out.
