Review on Spicer 5 213X U Joint Kit by Bishop Terry

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exact fit for 2005 Tundra Access Cab SR5 2WD

I bought these to replace the original U-joints in my 2005 Tundra which was starting to vibrate after 15 years. I chose them because I wanted to be able to add fat to the gimbal. The original universal joints were sealed and had no oiler. I've tried removing the original U-joints with a nut and hammer but to no avail. I had to rent a gimbal press from a local parts store. Once I had this tool, removing old crosses became easier. I had a small problem during installation, one of the needle bearings got misaligned and got stuck between the gimbal and the gimbal cover. I had to reset and start over, but no big deal. After the transmission was rebuilt and installed the truck ran great, no more vibration and now I can lubricate it with every oil change.

Pros
