The 5-160X U Joint is part of the 1410 Series and is specifically designed with a lube fitting in the cross for easy maintenance. This feature allows for regular relubrication, which significantly extends the life of the joint. With a cap diameter of 1.188″ and a width of 4.188″, this U joint is engineered to handle the torque demands of various applications while maintaining optimal performance.
One of the key differentiators of the 5-160X is its greasable design. Unlike sealed joints, which require replacement once they wear out, this joint can be serviced, allowing you to keep it running smoothly for a longer period. The precision-ground bearing cups and high-quality forged journal cross enhance its strength and durability, making it a reliable choice for both fabrication shops and fleet techs.

When installing the 5-160X, ensure that you check for proper seating of the snap rings and avoid hammering the caps to prevent damage. This U joint is compatible with various driveline setups, making it a versatile choice for performance builders and technicians alike. Remember, using the correct series is crucial; a 1410 U joint will not fit where a 1310 or 1350 is specified due to differences in dimensions and torque ratings.
