Hooked
So I was going to install the Ten Factory shafts and noticed one of the needles was missing out of a cap, I couldn't find it anywhere within the area I was working so I went and got a couple of replacement u-joints locally (4WP). Spicer 5-7166X ( 5004891) I noticed they were thicker in the body than the units sent with the Ten Factory axle shafts - and they don't fit... I went back to 4WP and they confirmed they were the correct joints, called Northridge and after some research on their part, they indicated that I had received the older style from 4WP as Spicer had made this joint and after fitment issues recast them. SPR5182 is new casting, SPR199 is old casting and thicker body
Northridge is sending the correct u-joints.
Just wanted to post this so if you are carrying a spare, you may want to compare it to what you have so you don't get stuck somewhere only to discover the same issue.
