Installation Notes and Tips

Verify bearing cap diameter, cap type, and snap ring style before installation. This ISR style joint uses internal snap rings and a grease fitting in the bearing, so the driveshaft should be cleaned and inspected for wear, scoring, or distortion before assembly. Confirm whether the application is at the transmission end or rear axle end of the rear driveshaft, and match the vehicle notes exactly for Acura SLX, Isuzu Trooper, or Isuzu VehiCROSS fitment.

The 5-3259-1X is built to Spicer specifications for driveline service where accurate fit and greaseable operation are required.
