Review on πŸ’ͺ Enhanced Performance with Spicer 5-260X U-Joint Kit: Unleash Optimal Power and Durability by Frank Webster

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Will not fit 1996 Cherokee XJ Dana 30

There is another comment that they do not fit on the axle. I couldn't mount them on the front axle of my 1996 Cherokee XJ Dana 30. It looks like the area going from the cap to the center cross has more metal and will get stuck in the axle ears before the other side clears the opposite ear (see second pic, pencil indicates thicker area, Moog U- joint below). It took a lot of frustration and "what am I doing wrong?". I even wanted to touch a few spots with a grinder or tap with a hammer, but I didn't. I then found another review with NOS (new old stock) 5-260 U-joints and decided to try the Moog equivalents. (Moog 365, apparently also Neapco 1-0174 should work, but I can't confirm). Moog 365 is perfect. I gave it a star to let you know but I love the Spicer, wish it would fit, I wanted all the Spicer parts rebuilt on my front axle.
