It's a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of 4x4 applications, including the 1959-1966 Jeep CJ3, 1963-1983 Jeep CJ5, 1961-1971 International Scout, 1966-1977 Ford Bronco, 1960-1972 Chevrolet K10 Pickup, 1968-1972 Dodge W100 Pickup and 1987-1995 Jeep Wrangler.

As a non-greaseable design, this joint ships pre-packed and sealed with no zerk fitting to service. Worn front-axle U-joints can announce themselves with a clunk on acceleration or when turning, vibration, or a clicking noise while cornering; if a failed joint is the cause, this Spicer unit replaces it.
