The Spicer 5-1410X U-Joint Kit is a genuine replacement 1410/SPL36 series universal joint with outside snap rings, featuring 1.188" bearing caps and a 4.188" outside-to-outside span for direct OE-fit applications.

Designed and produced to match Original Equipment standards, this Spicer universal joint kit supplies a direct-fit drivetrain component for vehicles using the 1410/SPL36 configuration. It’s a non-greaseable design that uses outside snap rings (OSR) for secure retention and straightforward installation. The kit is intended for technicians and DIY mechanics who need a reliable OEM-quality replacement that preserves original driveline geometry and service life.

What exactly does this U-joint replace?

This kit replaces 1410/SPL36 series universal joints that use outside snap ring retention and 1.188" bearing cups. It is offered as a genuine Spicer OE replacement, engineered to the same dimensional and performance standards as factory-installed components.

• Series: 1410 / SPL36
• Retention: Outside snap rings (OSR)
• Bearing cap diameter: 1.188 inches
• Outside-to-outside dimension: 4.188 inches

How do I know this kit will fit my driveshaft or axle?

Match the key measurements and retention style from your existing joint to confirm fit: cup diameter, center-to-center span, and snap ring location. The Spicer part is manufactured to OE specifications, so matching those dimensions ensures a direct replacement without modifying the yoke or shaft.

• Compare bearing cup size: 1.188"
• Verify outside-to-outside length: 4.188"
• Confirm snap ring placement is outside-retained (OSR)
• Use OEM cross-reference or VIN when available

What are the installation and maintenance highlights?

This 5-1410X unit is a non-greaseable Spicer Life U-joint with pre-assembled snap rings, so installation focuses on proper press-fit and correct seating of the caps. No onsite greasing is required; inspect surrounding yokes and seals while installing and replace any worn components to avoid premature failure.

• Non-greaseable design — no zerk fitting
• Install by pressing bearing caps squarely into yoke bores
• Check yoke faces and seals for wear prior to assembly
• Ensure snap rings fully seat in the outside grooves

Why choose the Spicer genuine OE replacement version?

Spicer builds these joints to match factory tolerances and materials, which helps retain driveline alignment, balance, and longevity compared with lower-spec aftermarket parts. Choosing a genuine Spicer kit reduces the need for fitment adjustments and helps maintain the original operating characteristics of the vehicle’s driveline.

• Manufactured to OE dimensions and finish
• Durable bearing surfaces and snap ring retention
• Engineered for consistent service life across applications
• Part number: 5-1410X (also listed as 2-0054OEB in references)

If you require OE-equivalent fit, avoid aftermarket fitment guesswork, and prefer a maintenance-light, non-greaseable design, the Spicer 5-1410X U-joint Kit is a practical replacement choice.
