5-2140X UDS Spicer – 5-2140XU Universal Joint

The 5-2140x is a 2RX1310 series combination (OSR + ISR) snap ring retention universal joint measuring 1.000"/1.063" dual cap | 2.344"/3.219" dual width. This is a combination u-joint -- it bridges two different series in one cross. The 5-2140x is greaseable with zerk fitting. Every 5-2140x is verified for cap diameter, bearing width, and snap ring groove dimensions before it ships from Universal Driveshafts.

5-2140X -- 2RX1310 Series Cap & Width Specifications

The this component specs: 1.000"/1.063" dual cap | 2.344"/3.219" dual width. Cap diameter determines which yoke bore it fits -- the cap must seat fully into the yoke without play. Dual cap diameters (1.000" and 1.063") bridge two different series yokes in a single cross. Bearing width (2.344" and 3.219" across the body) controls the span between yoke ears. A cross that is too wide won't fit; too narrow and the snap rings don't seat in the groove. 2R X 1310.

Confirm both ends of the driveshaft before installing the this u-joint. Combination u-joints require matching the correct series at each end -- the 1.000" caps go into one yoke, the 1.063" caps go into the other. Getting the orientation wrong means the driveshaft won't balance and the it will fail early. Measure both yoke bores with calipers before ordering -- don't rely on the vehicle spec alone.

Installation Notes for this unit

Before installing the the assembly, clean the yoke bores of any rust, burrs, or old bearing material. The bearing cups must drop in by hand -- never drive them in with a hammer directly on the cup. Use a proper cross-and-bearing installation tool or a press. Driving a cup in at an angle cocks the needle bearings and destroys the this u-joint before it ever sees load.

After installation, verify full rotation without binding. A binding cross indicates a cup is cocked or seated too deep. The it should articulate freely through the full operating angle of your driveshaft before the vehicle is lowered off the lift.
