Spicer Drive Axle Shaft Universal Joint P/N:SPL55-1480XC
Dana
Keep torque flowing to the front wheels with the Spicer Drive Axle Shaft Universal Joint SPL55-4X, a greaseable U-joint that mounts in the front axle at the wheels. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement across a wide range of heavy-duty trucks, including the 1999-2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty, 1999-2019 Ford F-350 Super Duty, 2000-2005 Ford Excursion, 1994-2002 Ram 2500 and Ram 3500, 1977-1986 Chevrolet K30, and 1966 International 1300A — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list of 54 applications.
Because it's a greaseable design, it takes lubrication at service intervals. Dana engineers Spicer universal joints for longer life across light-vehicle, commercial and off-highway use. A worn front axle U-joint can show up as clicking or clunking during turns, vibration, or binding — if a failed joint is the cause, this SPL55-4X replaces it.
Where does this universal joint mount?
It mounts in the front axle at the wheels, transmitting drive torque through the front axle shaft while allowing the wheel to articulate.
Is the SPL55-4X greaseable?
Yes. It is a greaseable universal joint, so it can be relubricated at your vehicle's service intervals.
Which vehicles does this U-joint fit?
It fits many heavy-duty trucks such as the 1999-2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty, 2000-2005 Ford Excursion, and 1994-2002 Ram 2500. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for all 54 applications.
What are the signs a front axle U-joint may need replacing?
Common signs include clicking or clunking during turns, vibration, or binding. Diagnose the cause first, since these symptoms can have other sources.
What features help this Spicer joint last?
A solid cold-formed journal cross, heat-treated, case-hardened bearing cups, a multi-lip seal, and thrust washers that reduce metal-to-metal contact and lower operating temperature.
