Best Driveshaft U-Joints? Spicer only.

JeepinYahoo · 09-17-2007, 04:05 PM

Of course some super beefy custom joints are out there, but I am looking for the best driveshaft u joint made by spicer. I wasn't sure which ones to get, and got some that were greasable. Since installing them the grease nipple came off(used locktite when installed???) and it dried out. I am looking for a sealed joint, they seem to last longer for me than the greasables. Will a 760x work in the driveshaft?

760x is for the front axleshafts. You want 1310 series for the driveshaft which if memory serves me is a Spicer 5-153x. I'm at work without any of my bookmarks for this kind of stuff.

Edit: Yep, just confirmed that you want the Spicer 5-153x for your driveshaft.

Order them online, most of the parts stores don't carry spicer anymore.

You don't want to disassemble something just to find out that NAPA doesn't carry them anymore, and won't order them.

None of the parts stores in town have Spicer. I oreder them from a great shop in Phx...luckily I have a bunch of the 5-153x in a box in my spare room from last time I was in Phx.
