Spicer 1410 U-Joint Kit 5-160X — 1.188" Bearing Caps, 4.188" Span, Greaseable OSR

Spicer 5-160X is a greaseable 1410-series universal joint kit with outside snap rings, built as a direct OE-style replacement for driveshaft and driveline applications.

Engineered to match original equipment specifications, the Spicer 5-160X U-joint kit (1410 Series, Outside Snap Ring style) provides a reliable, serviceable option for repairing or refurbishing driveshafts. This kit uses a 1.188-inch bearing cap diameter and a 4.188-inch bearing cap-to-cap span, so it fits applications that require standard 1410 dimensions while allowing periodic greasing to extend service life.

What dimensions and specifications should I confirm before ordering?

Verify the bearing cap diameter and the bearing cap-to-bearing cap measurement against your driveshaft. Matching these critical dimensions prevents fitment issues and ensures smooth operation after installation.

• Bearing cap diameter: 1.188 inch (30.17 mm).
• Outside-to-outside dimension (bearing cap to bearing cap): 4.188 inch (106.4 mm).
• Series: 1410 — confirm with your vehicle's U-joint specification.
• Style: Outside Snap Ring (OSR) — snap rings sit outside the yoke.

How is this Spicer kit different from non-greaseable or sealed U-joints?

Unlike sealed, non-greasable joints, the 5-160X includes a grease fitting that lets you inject lubricant periodically to help reduce wear and contamination. The kit retains serviceability and can extend usable life when maintained correctly.

• Greaseable design with a zerk fitting for periodic lubrication.
• Snap ring retention keeps caps secure in OSR yokes.
• Serviceable bearings allow inspections and re-greasing.
• OE-style construction for predictable fit and function.

What vehicles or repair situations is this U-joint suited for?

This 1410-series Spicer U-joint fits many light- and medium-duty driveline assemblies that require the 1.188" cap and 4.188" span. It’s intended for repairs where original OE dimensions and outside snap ring retention are specified.

• Direct OE replacement for compatible 1410 driveshaft yokes.
• Ideal for restoring used driveshafts during rebuilds.
• Suitable for trucks, SUVs, and performance street applications that match dimensions.
• Good choice when serviceability and periodic greasing are desired.

Who is this for: Technicians, DIY mechanics, and fleet maintenance teams who need a dependable, OE-spec 1410-series universal joint with outside snap rings and a greaseable design. Choose the Spicer 5-160X if you require precise fitment (1.188" caps, 4.188" span), want the ability to re-lubricate the joint, and prefer a genuine Spicer replacement part manufactured to original equipment standards.
