Spicer 1350/SPL30 U-Joint Kit 5-1350X — 1.188" Caps, 3.625" O2O, Outside Snap Rings

Spicer 5-1350X is a direct-replacement 1350/SPL30 series universal joint kit with outside snap rings, 1.188" bearing caps and a 3.625" outside-to-outside dimension for OE-style driveline service.

Designed and manufactured to match original equipment specifications, this Spicer u-joint kit supplies the exact dimensions and fit needed for many 1350/SPL30 driveline applications. The 5-1350X is a non-greaseable Spicer Life unit with outside snap rings (OSR) for straightforward installation where the driveline yoke accepts external retaining rings.

Will this u-joint physically fit my driveshaft yoke?

Check three key measurements: bearing cap diameter, outside-to-outside (O2O) dimension, and snap ring style. The 5-1350X uses 1.188" bearing caps, a 3.625" O2O span and outside snap rings, so it fits yokes designed for those exact specs.

• Bearing cap diameter: 1.188 inches
• Outside-to-outside dimension: 3.625 inches
• Snap ring type: outside snap ring (OSR)
• Series compatibility: 1350 / SPL30

How does the Spicer Life non-greaseable design affect maintenance?

This unit is built as a sealed, non-greaseable joint, eliminating routine lubrication intervals. That reduces service steps, but when replacing, confirm the joint’s sealed design is compatible with your vehicle’s service access and operating environment.

• Sealed bearing cups require no periodic greasing
• Snap-ring retention simplifies removal and installation
• Meets Spicer OE dimensional standards for fit and lifespan

What are the installation and part-identification notes I should follow?

Use the part finder notes and match the 2-0053OEB reference or the 5-1350X number to confirm application. Proper press-fit of bearing caps and correct snap-ring seating are essential to avoid drivetrain vibration or premature wear.

• Reference part number: 2-0053OEB / 5-1350X
• Verify yoke accepts outside snap rings before ordering
• Install with appropriate press tools and verify snap rings fully seat

Who is this for: technicians, do-it-yourself mechanics and fleet maintainers who need a direct OE-style replacement u-joint for 1350/SPL30 drivelines that accept outside snap rings. If your application requires sealed, non-greaseable joints with 1.188" caps and a 3.625" O2O measurement, the Spicer 5-1350X provides an exact-fit option engineered to the original specifications.
