Spicer Life Series SPL Universal Joint

The Dana Spicer HGVF 5-7439X is a non-greasable universal joint built for rear driveshaft service at the rear axle. It uses steel construction, OSR-style bearing caps, and external snap rings to match the specified driveline applications with precise dimensions.

Spicer Life Series (SPL) components are engineered for longer service life, higher bearing capacity, and reduced maintenance compared with many standard replacement joints. For drivers servicing Ford and Mercury rear driveshaft applications, the 5-7439X provides a direct-fit driveline solution where the OEM series calls for S55/1310 conversion coverage.

  • Bearing cap diameters: 1.062 in and 1.125 in
  • Metric bearing cap diameters: 27.0 mm and 28.6 mm
  • OSR-style round bearing caps with external snap rings
  • Steel construction for driveline durability
  • Non-greasable design for low-maintenance service
  • Converts S55 series applications to 1310
  • OEM series coverage: S55/1310
