Keep power flowing to the rear axle with the Spicer Universal Joint SPL70-1X, a greaseable Spicer Life Series (SPL) U-joint built for heavy-duty driveline duty. It's cataloged for rear-driveshaft positions — at the rear axle, at the transmission, and at the center support bearing — on trucks including the 2003-2009 Chevrolet C4500/C5500 Kodiak, 2003-2009 GMC C4500/C5500 TopKick, 2005-2007 Hino 145, 165 and 185, 2011-2018 Ram 4500 and 5500, and 2013-2018 Ram 2500 and 3500. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full application and engine list.
SPL universal joints are engineered for longer life, increased bearing capacity and lower maintenance so you can hit the road or trail with confidence.
- Solid cold-formed journal cross: engineered body for better wear resistance and overall strength.
- Heat-treated bearing cups: precision-ground and case-hardened for strength and durability.
- Multi-lip seal: keeps grease in and contaminants out for maximum retention across a wider range of environments.
- Greaseable design: allows periodic lubrication in service.
- Kit contents: includes new self-locking spring tabs and bearing retainer bolts.
A worn U-joint can show signs like driveline clunk on acceleration or shifting, vibration, or a squeaking noise; if a failed joint is the cause, this replaces it.
