Spicer 5-1350X U-Joint Kit 1350/SPL30 Series (OSR)

Worked for the front and rear stock single piece aluminum drive shaft on a 2007 Chevy Silverado 1500 2WD with the short bed.I actually had to order 3. Two were for the front and back. The third was a replacement. The cap on the u-joint towards the transmission output shaft shot off. The first general repair shop that pressed the u-joint in forgot to clean where the retaining clips go so it wasn't sitting all the way. I put like maybe 5 miles on it going 30-40 miles per hour.I tried saving the stock shaft at a shop specializing on only driveshafts but they couldn't balance it/make it run true. The tech there salvaged the other u-joint while complimenting the brand for my specific application: stock daily driver. These are simple to install, priced great if you buy them here on Amazon, durable, reputable, and what the dealer recommends. He mentioned that the non-greaseable ones are better for the average person because most people don't grease them at the right intervals too.But if you're like me the original u-joint caps will be seized in there at 150k miles. I beat the dog sh*t out of the old ones for two days, bought the tool to press them out from Harbor Freight, hell I even heated them best as I could seeing that the flange is aluminum too. Didn't work. At the first shop it took a hydraulic press after 3 guys couldn't hammer it out.If I had to do this whole thing again I'd just make a mental note I'm only saving money on removing and installing the whole driveshaft and not the u-joints. I'd still stick to this brand tho.

Tough and easy to install. The Amazon vehicle match did not include my 2003 extended cab 4X4 Silverado, but it is an exact replacement. Other bearings listed for my truck were not a match.

reliable durability

Great U joints. Great price—quick delivery time

Loss of 1 star because of Amazon compatible vehicle program. I should have double checked. They are too small.for the application i was planning on doing ( front driveline 2013 Ram 2500) I'll keep them and use them on my Jeep.

Does not fit rear drive shaft (2 piece). Ordered 3 to replace all u joints in rear. At first glance they seem to be the same size but they are too small. Installed one and the side to side slop from the u joint sliding back and forth between the needle bearing trunions was so bad some needle bearings fell out in the cap.Upon closer inspection, by comparing old U joint to the new 1350x, it became clear that I had the wrong replacement part.Rushed to advanced auto parts and luckily they had three Moog 295 u joints that fit perfect. I would have preferred to stick with Spicer but needed my truck on the road. Honestly, Moog is a solid brand so I am not concerned about it. Just sucks to waste about $100 because I bought the parts months ago and cannot return. Also, the 1350x I had to remove from the driveshaft (the one I installed) is not going to be able to be reused, so had to toss it. If you want to stick with Spicer I believe the 1410x is the part you need but for sure Moog 295 fits.I am not for sure yet, but I think the 1350x may work on the front drive shaft. I will find that out when the time comes.Just throwing some information out there for everyone. I spent a lot of time scouring for info through old forums and it all lead me back to wrong u joint, and it was. I do not hold Spicer accountable and they are still my go to brand for my truck and probably always will be. Moog is a close second. This one's on me.

I swear by Spicer u-joints, they are OE for a reason. I’ve installed other brands in a pinch and they never fit perfect and last no where near as long. I first installed these in my 95 F-250 in 2004 replacing a pair of 2 year old precision joints. The rear shaft still has these joints to this day, 90k miles later. I’ve installed them in front axle shafts in numerous trucks and have yet to have to replace one all the trucks have had 45k-80k miles on those joints. Need I say more? Perfect fit, pre lubed and never need lube.The only pitfall is the sealing ring only seals once so, if the install is not perfectly centered it will crack and allow water to enter the joint. Obviously you can never take the joint apart so, the strap style is essential to tape the cross so the caps don’t fall off before installing the straps. I’ve used 1350 and 1410 and they are identical excer for the dimensions.

Says it fits Gladiator, DOES not fit JEEP GLADIATOR
