Spicer5-1310-1x u-joint kit 1310/spl22 series (osr)

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.

As a Canadian i highly recommend this product as it is an upgrade to the original u joint from my tj. The most important is the bronze retaining clip which means it is more resilient to rust. A metal retaining clip will rust into your driveshaft after a fee winters. Making servicing a major pain because the metal once rusted dont come out easily....Major pain!

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.

I was impressed with how perfectly these were assembled and greased. Installation was straightforward. Perfect fit.
