Spicer U-Joint 5-134X 1310/1330 Series — 1.062 in Bearing Caps, Greaseable OSR

Spicer 5-134X is a greaseable 1310/1330-series universal joint kit with outside snap rings, built as a direct OE-style replacement for driveshafts requiring 1.062-inch bearing caps.

This kit supplies a durable, serviceable universal joint engineered to Spicer's original equipment standards for dependable driveline performance. It fits applications that use the 1310 or 1330 series dimensions and uses outside snap rings (OSR) to retain the bearing cups. The design supports routine greasing and is intended to give a long service life when installed to correct tolerances.

What does the 5-134X U-joint replace and where does it fit?

The 5-134X is a genuine Spicer OE-style replacement for U-joints with 1.062-inch bearing caps and outside snap ring retention. It matches common 1310/1330-series driveline interfaces and can be used in many light truck, SUV, and industrial drive shaft applications that call for these dimensions.

• Bearing cap diameter: 1.062 inches
• Across bearing caps (dimension 1): 3.25 inches
• Across bearing caps (dimension 2): 3.25 inches
• Outside-to-outside overall: 3.219 inches
• Fits 1310 and 1330 series configurations

How do I service and grease this Spicer U-joint?

This model is greaseable, allowing periodic lubrication to extend bearing life and reduce wear. Use a standard chassis grease through the zerk fitting until clean grease appears at the seals, and follow vehicle manufacturer intervals for service.

• Grease type: automotive chassis grease (lithium complex or equivalent)
• Apply until fresh grease appears around seals
• Inspect for play or rust before and after greasing
• Replace if bearing caps rotate or show axial looseness

How is this U-joint retained and why does that matter?

The Spicer 5-134X uses outside snap rings (OSR) to secure the bearing cups to the yoke. That retention style affects installation technique and compatibility with yokes that have machined grooves for external snap rings.

• Retention: outside snap rings (OSR) for straightforward cup seating
• Requires yokes with external snap ring grooves
• Snap ring style simplifies removal when servicing the driveshaft
• Match retention style exactly to avoid fitment issues

What measurements should I verify before ordering?

Confirming the critical dimensions prevents returns and ensures a correct fit. Measure the bearing cap diameter, the distance across bearing caps, and verify the yoke uses outside snap rings.

• Bearing cap diameter: 1.062 inches
• Bearing cap to bearing cap: 3.25 inches (both axes)
• Outside-to-outside overall: 3.219 inches
• Retention type: outside snap rings (OSR)

Who is this for: The Spicer 5-134X suits mechanics, restoration shops, fleet technicians, and DIYers replacing 1310/1330-series U-joints in light trucks, SUVs, and industrial shafts that require a greaseable, OE-spec outside-snap-ring joint. Choose this kit when you need a direct-fit Spicer replacement with serviceable lubrication and common 1.062-inch bearing caps.
