Spicer 1480 Universal Joint & U-Bolt Kit
WF03008
The Spicer 1480 U-Joint & U-Bolt Kit is built for extreme duty driveline applications where strength and reliability are non-negotiable. Trusted in heavy off-road, rock crawling, racing, and high horsepower builds, this kit pairs a 1480-series non-greaseable universal joint with a properly matched Spicer U-bolt retention kit for secure bearing cap clamping.
The non-greaseable (solid cross) design maximizes strength by eliminating the grease passage, making it the preferred choice for competition and high load applications. Large 1.375 in. bearing caps and precision machining ensure durability under shock loads and sustained torque.
Includes:
- (2) Spicer 1480 Series Universal Joint (non-greaseable)
- (2) Spicer U-Bolt Kit for 1480 bearing caps

Tech Insight
The 1480 series is a significant step up from 1350 joints, offering increased cap diameter and torque capacity for extreme builds. The non-greaseable design provides maximum cross strength, making it ideal for racing and hard off-road use where durability outweighs serviceability. Pairing the joint with the correct Spicer U-bolt kit is critical to prevent cap movement and ensure long service life.
