Dana Spicer 5-160X Universal Joint

Spicer 1410 Series Universal Joint

The Dana Spicer FSGR 5-160X universal joint is built for driveline service where precise fit and greaseable construction matter. It uses 1.188-inch bearing caps, a 4.188-inch outside snap ring dimension, and an OSR-style layout for applications that call for the Spicer 1410 (SPL36) series.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the bearing cap diameter, outside snap ring dimension, and series before installation. This joint is specified for OSR-style applications and uses external snap rings, so the yoke and snap ring grooves must match the listed dimensions. Clean the yoke bores thoroughly, pack or service with N.L.G.I. Grade 2 grease as required, and confirm smooth articulation after assembly.
