Review on πŸ”₯ The Ultimate Spicer 5-153X U-Joint Kit: Unmatched Performance and Durability by George Hersey

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Perfect fit (almost), smooth ride

Perfect for replacing the U-joints in my 2003 Xterra. Installation wasn't too difficult with this press (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D9D8M9H/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I made the mistake of installing a grease fitting on the drive shaft before installing the gimbal, which I accidentally snapped off while struggling to install the gimbal. My only complaint is that the needle bearings are a bit loosely packed in the caps, which can cause them to slip slightly when installed. I didn't notice that when I was struggling with the fork, the needle bearing slipped out, and when I pressed the cover, the loose needle bearing burst.
