Spicer5-1350X U-Joint Kit 1350/SPL30 Series (OSR)

Worked for the front and rear stock single piece aluminum drive shaft on a 2007 Chevy Silverado 1500 2WD with the short bed.I actually had to order 3. Two were for the front and back. The third was a replacement. The cap on the u-joint towards the transmission output shaft shot off. The first general repair shop that pressed the u-joint in forgot to clean where the retaining clips go so it wasn't sitting all the way. I put like maybe 5 miles on it going 30-40 miles per hour.I tried saving the stock shaft at a shop specializing on only driveshafts but they couldn't balance it/make it run true. The tech there salvaged the other u-joint while complimenting the brand for my specific application: stock daily driver. These are simple to install, priced great if you buy them here on Amazon, durable, reputable, and what the dealer recommends. He mentioned that the non-greaseable ones are better for the average person because most people don't grease them at the right intervals too.But if you're like me the original u-joint caps will be seized in there at 150k miles. I beat the dog sh*t out of the old ones for two days, bought the tool to press them out from Harbor Freight, hell I even heated them best as I could seeing that the flange is aluminum too. Didn't work. At the first shop it took a hydraulic press after 3 guys couldn't hammer it out.If I had to do this whole thing again I'd just make a mental note I'm only saving money on removing and installing the whole driveshaft and not the u-joints. I'd still stick to this brand tho.

Great U joints. Great price—quick delivery time

Does not fit rear drive shaft (2 piece). Ordered 3 to replace all u joints in rear. At first glance they seem to be the same size but they are too small. Installed one and the side to side slop from the u joint sliding back and forth between the needle bearing trunions was so bad some needle bearings fell out in the cap.Upon closer inspection, by comparing old U joint to the new 1350x, it became clear that I had the wrong replacement part.Rushed to advanced auto parts and luckily they had three Moog 295 u joints that fit perfect. I would have preferred to stick with Spicer but needed my truck on the road. Honestly, Moog is a solid brand so I am not concerned about it. Just sucks to waste about $100 because I bought the parts months ago and cannot return. Also, the 1350x I had to remove from the driveshaft (the one I installed) is not going to be able to be reused, so had to toss it. If you want to stick with Spicer I believe the 1410x is the part you need but for sure Moog 295 fits.I am not for sure yet, but I think the 1350x may work on the front drive shaft. I will find that out when the time comes.Just throwing some information out there for everyone. I spent a lot of time scouring for info through old forums and it all lead me back to wrong u joint, and it was. I do not hold Spicer accountable and they are still my go to brand for my truck and probably always will be. Moog is a close second. This one's on me.

Solid!

Loss of 1 star because of Amazon compatible vehicle program. I should have double checked. They are too small.for the application i was planning on doing ( front driveline 2013 Ram 2500) I'll keep them and use them on my Jeep.

reliable durability

Tough and easy to install. The Amazon vehicle match did not include my 2003 extended cab 4X4 Silverado, but it is an exact replacement. Other bearings listed for my truck were not a match.

Says it fits Gladiator, DOES not fit JEEP GLADIATOR
