Keep power flowing smoothly through your driveline with the Spicer Universal Joint 5-160X, a greaseable 1410 Series U-joint that transfers torque through the driveshaft while allowing the shaft to move up and down with the suspension. It fits a broad range of trucks, vans and chassis-cab applications, including the 1978 GMC P35, 1979-1999 Chevrolet P30, 1988-1990 Chevrolet Blazer, 2006-2015 Nissan Titan, 2013-2018 Ram 2500 and 2015-2022 Ford Transit-150 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 277 applications.
Solid cold-formed journal cross: engineered for better wear resistance and overall strength.
Heat-treated bearing cups: 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.
The greaseable design lets you add fresh lubricant through the fitting during routine service. Worn U-joints often announce themselves with a clunk on acceleration or when shifting into gear, a squeak at low speed, or driveline vibration; if a failed universal joint is the cause, this Spicer 5-160X replaces it. Backed by the Spicer name for engineered quality across light-vehicle, commercial and off-highway use.
