Spicer U-Joint Kit 5-1310X 1310/SPL22 Series OSR — 1.062" Caps, 3.219" Cap-to-Cap, Non-Greaseable

The Spicer 5-1310X U-Joint Kit is a factory-standard 1310/SPL22 series universal joint with outside snap rings, built as a direct OE-quality replacement for reliable driveline performance.

Spicer engineered this 5-1310X (OSR) kit to match original equipment specifications so it fits and functions like the part it replaces. The joint uses Spicer Life non-greaseable bearings and outside snap rings for a low-maintenance install, and its measured dimensions make it compatible with many applications that require the 1310/SPL22 geometry.

What exactly does the Spicer 5-1310X kit include and why does that matter?

This kit supplies a non-greaseable universal joint built to OE tolerances, simplifying replacement without custom modification. Using the correct bearing cap diameter and spacing ensures a precise fit and dependable operation under typical loads.

• Spicer Life non-greaseable universal joint with snap rings
• Outside Snap Ring (OSR) retention style for straightforward installation
• Bearing cap diameter: 1.062 inches
• Outside-to-outside (cap-to-cap) dimension: 3.219 inches

How does the OSR (outside snap ring) design affect installation?

Outside snap rings locate and secure the bearing caps from the exterior of the yoke, allowing technicians to install or replace the joint without special internal clips. This approach often reduces disassembly time and helps keep service straightforward during routine driveline work.

• Snap rings sit on the outside of the yoke for easier access
• No internal retainer machining required for compatible yokes
• Works with yokes designed for outside-retained bearings
• Speeds up service when matching OE-style components

Which measurements should be checked before ordering the 5-1310X?

Confirming the key dimensions prevents fitment issues: the bearing cup size and the cap-to-cap spacing are critical. Measure your existing joint or consult vehicle service information to match the 1.062-inch cup diameter and 3.219-inch cap-to-cap distance.

• Bearing cup (cap) diameter: 1.062 inches
• Outside-to-outside cap distance: 3.219 inches
• Series designation: 1310 / SPL22 for geometry compatibility
• Retention style: Outside snap ring (OSR) required by the yoke

Will the Spicer 5-1310X perform like the original part?

Spicer manufactures this U-joint to match the specifications used by many OEMs, so it behaves like the original equipment part when installed correctly. The non-greaseable Spicer Life bearings are made to resist wear and provide consistent movement across normal operating conditions.

• Built to original equipment specifications for consistent performance
• Spicer Life non-greaseable bearing for lower service frequency
• OE-style outside snap rings for authentic retention method
• Intended as a genuine Spicer OE replacement component
