Dana Spicer 5-407X 1760-Series Universal Joint
The Dana Spicer 5-407X (5407X) Universal Joint is a genuine Spicer, greaseable driveshaft U-joint engineered for 1760-series medium- and heavy-duty commercial-vehicle applications. It uses a bearing-plate configuration on both axes to create a secure connection between the driveshaft and mating yokes while transferring torque through the driveline.
Built from heavy-duty steel, the 5-407X features 1.938-inch bearing caps, a 7.000-inch overall span, and 2.437-inch mounting-bolt spacing. Its symmetrical construction provides the same dimensions on both axes, simplifying identification and installation in compatible 1760-series driveshaft assemblies. Dana supplies the joint with the grease fitting and required mounting hardware.
