I have Ten Factory axle shafts for install, the u-joints are stamped SPR 5182, the box is just plain black and no other identifiers... are these Spicer u-joints and what to get for a spare?
searching for SPR 5182 brings up nothing so I'm guessing it's just some type of casting number.

That should be a Spicer u-joint. For a Rubicon, you will want to get the following part number for a spare: Spicer 5-7166X

Here is another number for Spicer. It's what I purchased when installing Rubicon axles.

Thanks! I never imagined it would be so difficult to find these locally.

Is there a write up on installing U-joints?
