Spicer 5-1350X U-Joint Kit 1350/SPL30 Series (OSR)

Worked for the front and rear stock single piece aluminum drive shaft on a 2007 Chevy Silverado 1500 2WD with the short bed.I actually had to order 3. Two were for the front and back. The third was a replacement. The cap on the u-joint towards the transmission output shaft shot off. The first general repair shop that pressed the u-joint in forgot to clean where the retaining clips go so it wasn't sitting all the way. I put like maybe 5 miles on it going 30-40 miles per hour.I tried saving the stock shaft at a shop specializing on only driveshafts but they couldn't balance it/make it run true. The tech there salvaged the other u-joint while complimenting the brand for my specific application: stock daily driver. These are simple to install, priced great if you buy them here on Amazon, durable, reputable, and what the dealer recommends. He mentioned that the non-greaseable ones are better for the average person because most people don't grease them at the right intervals too.But if you're like me the original u-joint caps will be seized in there at 150k miles. I beat the dog sh*t out of the old ones for two days, bought the tool to press them out from Harbor Freight, hell I even heated them best as I could seeing that the flange is aluminum too. Didn't work. At the first shop it took a hydraulic press after 3 guys couldn't hammer it out.If I had to do this whole thing again I'd just make a mental note I'm only saving money on removing and installing the whole driveshaft and not the u-joints. I'd still stick to this brand tho.

What can I say. Quality Spicer joints.

Does not fit rear drive shaft (2 piece). Ordered 3 to replace all u joints in rear. At first glance they seem to be the same size but they are too small. Installed one and the side to side slop from the u joint sliding back and forth between the needle bearing trunions was so bad some needle bearings fell out in the cap.Upon closer inspection, by comparing old U joint to the new 1350x, it became clear that I had the wrong replacement part.Rushed to advanced auto parts and luckily they had three Moog 295 u joints that fit perfect. I would have preferred to stick with Spicer but needed my truck on the road. Honestly, Moog is a solid brand so I am not concerned about it. Just sucks to waste about $100 because I bought the parts months ago and cannot return. Also, the 1350x I had to remove from the driveshaft (the one I installed) is not going to be able to be reused, so had to toss it. If you want to stick with Spicer I believe the 1410x is the part you need but for sure Moog 295 fits.I am not for sure yet, but I think the 1350x may work on the front drive shaft. I will find that out when the time comes.Just throwing some information out there for everyone. I spent a lot of time scouring for info through old forums and it all lead me back to wrong u joint, and it was. I do not hold Spicer accountable and they are still my go to brand for my truck and probably always will be. Moog is a close second. This one's on me.

Great U joints. Great price—quick delivery time

Loss of 1 star because of Amazon compatible vehicle program. I should have double checked. They are too small.for the application i was planning on doing ( front driveline 2013 Ram 2500) I'll keep them and use them on my Jeep.

Solid!

reliable durability

Says it fits Gladiator, DOES not fit JEEP GLADIATOR
