Spicer 1410/SPL36 U-Joint Kit 5-1410X OSR – 1.188" Caps, 4.188" O-to-O, Non-Greasable

Spicer 5-1410X is a genuine Spicer 1410/SPL36 outside-snap-ring universal joint kit engineered as an OE-equivalent replacement with 1.188" bearing caps and a 4.188" outside-to-outside dimension.

This Spicer U-joint kit (model 5-1410X) matches the original-equipment standards used on driveline systems that require the 1410/SPL36 series. It uses the Spicer Life non-greaseable design with outside snap rings (OSR), making it a straightforward, maintenance-minimizing swap for compatible shafts and yokes.

What specifications define this Spicer 1410-series U-joint?

The 5-1410X is built to clear OE tolerances and fit the SPL36 family of applications. Key dimensions and design features ensure compatibility with shafts and yokes that require outside snap-ring retention and a non-greaseable construction.

• Bearing cap diameter: 1.188 inches
• Outside-to-outside dimension (bearing cap to bearing cap): 4.188 inches
• Series: 1410 / SPL36
• Retention: outside snap ring (OSR) style
• Part number reference: 2-0054OEB / Spicer 5-1410X

How does the outside-snap-ring (OSR) design help during installation?

OSR-style retention places the snap rings outside the yoke, which can simplify press-in installation and removal in many driveline assemblies. This layout also preserves the internal bearing seat area and is commonly used where yokes are not drilled for internal snap rings.

• Easier press-fit alignment with external snap-ring grooves
• Common fit for yokes designed without internal recesses
• Reduced risk of interference with internal yoke surfaces

Is this U-joint greasable and what maintenance does it need?

The Spicer 5-1410X uses the Spicer Life non-greaseable construction, so it does not include a grease fitting. It is intended for applications where sealed, maintenance-free service is preferred or required.

• No zerk fitting — sealed bearing caps
• Designed for sealed, long-life service in appropriate environments
• Inspect driveshaft and yokes periodically for wear or play

Which vehicles and repair situations is this part suited for?

This kit is appropriate for driveline repairs requiring an OE-equivalent 1410/SPL36 U-joint with outside snap rings and 1.188" caps. It’s used where exact bearing cap dimensions and OSR retention are specified by the vehicle or equipment manufacturer.

• Replacement for OEM 1410-series U-joints with OSR specification
• Suits driveshafts and transfer cases using 4.188" outside dimensions
• Helpful for fleet, commercial, and consumer driveline maintenance
