Play, grease leakage and vibration from worn U-joints — when to replace propshaft components on CV fleets.
What you will gain from this guide
- Radial play in U-joints causes vibration at speed
- Grease leakage indicates seal failure
- Replace companion flange hardware when corroded
Spicer driveline components transfer high torque on loaded CVs. Delaying U-joint replacement can destroy yokes and increase downtime cost.
Inspection procedure
- Check for play at each U-joint trunnion
- Look for rust streaks from seal failure
- Listen for cyclic vibration that increases with speed
Sourcing parts
- Match Spicer part numbers from the old joint label
- Order greasable vs sealed joints as per original spec
- Torque flange bolts to workshop manual values
