Installation Notes

Verify bearing cap diameter, overall length, and snap ring style before installation. This OSR-style joint uses external snap rings and a grease fitting located in the bearing, so the driveline should be cleaned and inspected for wear at the yokes, support bearing area, and mating surfaces before assembly. Confirm the vehicle has the listed 2-piece rear driveshaft configuration and match the rear driveshaft position exactly to the application.

Quality Assurance

Genuine Spicer components are built using Dana engineering, testing, and manufacturing processes to maintain OE-level dimensional accuracy and driveline performance for the listed applications.
