Genuine Spicer Driveline Components
Genuine Spicer� driveshaft products are manufactured to the same high standards as Original Equipment (OE) parts - because they are OE parts. That means when an automotive driveshaft part is replaced with a genuine Spicer product, it's being replaced with the original equipment product, ensuring the same performance and reliability you've come to expect. Spicer genuine OE components are available for automotive applications including passenger cars, light, medium & heavy duty trucks.
A representative from Dana/Spicer will be in to work with some of our customers the week of August 9th. If you are interested in having him come to your shop for training, please email Adam Sadler at [email protected] or call 319-366-8238 to schedule a time.

What Causes Your Driveshaft To Vibrate?
Causes |
Solutions |
Driveshaft out of Phase |
Most driveshafts are built with the yokes at each end of the tube aligned in the same position. If the transmission yoke ear faces the side and the rear end yoke ear faces up, then the driveshaft could be phased wrong. Multi-piece driveshafts usually have all yokes aligned for best operation. Rephase driveshaft and balance. |
Worn or Broken U-Joint |
Check for movement. Check U-Joint trunnions (ends) for any uneven wear. |
Wrong Size U-Joints |
Check OEM specs. Use measuring guides to check driveshaft and yokes for proper fit. |
Driveshaft too Long |
Call us to review your set up. Solution could be to install 2-piece driveshaft. |
Worn Slip Yoke or Spline |
Slip yoke and spline should have very little torsional rotation. Also, the slip yoke should move smoothly and evenly over the spline. The coating on the spline, if it has it, should fully cover the spline. If worn, we can help by replacing the slip, spline (or both if required) and then balancing the driveshaft. |
Lack of Grease |
Where applicable, make sure that ALL U-Joint caps and slip yoke accept grease. Follow lube interval recommendations. |
Driveshaft not straight or out of balance |
In most cases, straightening and balancing will solve this problem. Worst case scenario is that the driveshaft tube would have to be replaced. |
Balance weight fell off. |

Torsional and/or inertial excitation |
