Product Details

Spicer FSGR universal joints are engineered for longer service life across light-duty and commercial driveline applications. The 5-3203X follows the OEM staked replacement format used by Visteon and matches the dimensions needed for rear driveshaft service on 2004-2007 Ford F-150, 2004 Ford F-150 Heritage, 2005-2006 Lincoln Navigator, and 2006-2007 Lincoln Mark LT applications. If you are replacing a worn rear driveshaft universal joint on a Ford F-150 or Lincoln Mark LT, this Spicer joint provides the correct OSR-style fit and dimensional match for the listed positions.

What It Helps Fix

• Driveline vibration from worn bearing surfaces
• Clunking or knocking during takeoff or gear changes
• Loose or noisy rear driveshaft operation
• Need for an OE-style staked replacement universal joint
• Service issues on non-greasable rear driveshaft joints

Installation Notes

Verify bearing cap diameter, cap-to-cap length, snap ring style, and driveshaft configuration before installation. This part uses external snap rings and is specified for non-greasable, staked-retainer applications. Confirm whether the vehicle uses a 1-piece driveshaft or 2-piece driveshaft with support bearing, and match the listed rear driveshaft position exactly.

Quality Assurance

Dana Spicer universal joints are manufactured to support demanding driveline use with consistent dimensional control and OE-style application coverage. The FSGR line is built around replacement needs for vehicles that require a staked-style universal joint, including Ford F-150 and Lincoln Mark LT rear driveshaft service.
