Description

Keep torque flowing to the front wheels through every steering and drive angle with the Spicer Drive Axle Shaft Universal Joint 5-3212X (also written 53212X). This non-greaseable U-joint mounts in the front axle at the wheels and drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2010-2024 RAM 2500 and 3500, 2008-2018 RAM 4500 and 5500, and 2008-2010 Dodge Ram 4500 and 5500, plus the 2010 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list. It's part of the AAM1555WJ series.

Journal cross: built with a solid cold-formed body for better wear resistance and overall strength.
Bearing cups: heat treated for strength, then precision-ground and case-hardened for durability.
Multi-lip seal: keeps grease in and contaminants out for maximum retention across a wider range of environments.
Thrust washers: eliminate metal-to-metal contact, help prevent wear, and lower the overall operating temperature.

As a non-greaseable design, it requires no periodic greasing. If a worn front-axle U-joint is behind your symptoms, this Spicer unit replaces it.
