Just tell the parts guy what you got and use what he gives you. If you get a choice take spicer.

I'm shipping to Beirut from rockauto.com. So Dana Spicer greasable ones?

51 ashton

Yes

As long as you ask for first line parts, make sure they're greaseable, I normally go for the moogs

SatiricalHen

I prefer non greaseable personally. Stronger joints

If you're planning on doing a lot of wheeling in deep water and mud, get greaseable U-Joints.

Otherwise, like SatiricalHen said, get non greaseable because they are stronger.

My preference is Spicer.

I've had good luck with the delcos too, had to buy them in a pinch once!

tonybeirut

What is the part numbers of the greasable Spicers please.
for the front axles and both shafts.

51 ashton

Just ask for the ones with the grease fitting when your at the counter and double check before you leave.

I don't think there is a greasable version of the Spicer 5-760X for axles. I bought Alloy X-Joints for my pos a few years ago, it has greasable caps but a solid trunion. A friend of mine just bought the Moog joints, with a hollow core and a single grease fitting--felt good looked good but I wouldn't want to use them for hard off-roading.

For the driveshaft joints I use the Spicer 5-153X joints, with a single fitting on the shoulder. There are other joints that have a fitting on the cap(s)

As others have said, greasable joints are weaker than non-greasable, but greasables have longer lifetime if you drive in water or snow and you periodically regrease them. If you don't regrease them they will have a shorter actual lifetime than the non-greasable

call rock auto and ask them first then place the order.

Or call the local parts stores till you find a non-grease spicer. Oreiley and napa carry them

If you're rebuilding the CV front driveshaft, I'd also get a new centering yoke or rebuild kit for the CV. DANA SPICER 211544X
