Spicer Life Series Driveshafts Brochure - Manual (Page 3)

Features Quick Disconnect ™ end
yokes with cold-formed bearing
retainers that act as a structural
member. This results in controlled
deflection, improved overall
strength, anti-rotation, and
easier maintenance.
Patented and compact
spring tab design reduces
looseness in the driveshaft
system that can contribute
to unwanted vibration.
Dana’s Spicer Life XL ®
u-joint has been engineered
for reduced wear and longer
service life. Features 350,000
mile initial relubrication.
Thrust washers eliminate
metal-to-metal contact.
This prevents wear and
end galling, and lowers the
overall operating temperature
of the u-joint kit.
Multi-lip seals on the
u-joints incorporate a garter
spring, seal guard, and a
needle spacer for extended
lubrication intervals.
Increase balance, strength,
and torsional stiffness – for
maximum component life
and minimum vibration –
with the Glidecoat
® slip
spline and Hytrel ® boot.
Permanently lubricated
slip member protects against
environmental contaminants
and eliminates maintenance.
Protecting the permanently
lubricated slip member is a
Hytrel
® boot. The durability of
this boot has been verified by
both laboratory testing and
years of real-world use.
Hytrel ® is a registered trademark
of DuPont.
Leaner and meaner describes
the increased driveshaft
tube diameter and decreased
wall thickness – unlike
typical driveshafts. You enjoy
higher critical speeds and
increased strength, without
increased weight.
Your wheels will always
be turning – at unsurpassed
efficiency – thanks to Spicer Life
Series ® driveshafts and Spicer Life XL ®
u-joints. As the world leader in driveshafts
and related components, Dana is always
moving forward with innovative solutions.
Innovation:
With Dana,
the Wheels
Are Always
Turning
Handling heavy loads over
the long haul has never been
easier or more efficient,
thanks to Dana’s Spicer Life
Series driveshafts – which have
set the standard for heavy-duty
driveshaft performance.
Spicer Life Series driveshafts
take our industry standard 10
Series ™ one better. Innovatively
designed for demanding, high
torque and high horsepower
applications, they’re compatible
with today’s electronically
controlled engines and lower
axle ratios.
And while Spicer Life XL
u-joints may be greased, they
also offer extended initial
lubrication intervals for linehaul
applications of up to three
years or 350,000 miles,
whichever comes first. This all
adds up to trouble-free, long-
life driveshaft performance –
even when hauling heavier
loads and multiple trailer
configurations.
At Dana, we’re committed to
continually advancing driveline
technology in all types of
vehicles, all around the world.
Better performance. Longer
life. Lower operating costs.
We’ve set the standard – so
you can enjoy the advantages!

deflection, improved overall
strength, anti-rotation, and

The innovative design of the new Spicer ® XC ™
center bearing simplifies installation and alignment
of driveshaft assemblies, while providing improved
reliability and durability.
The new Spicer XC center bearing reduces bracket
complexity and is fully interchangeable with the previous
center bearing design. The lighter design also features a
permanently lubricated bearing with improved sealing
and upgraded rubber cushions, eliminating the need for
slingers for improved performance and less downtime.
The elastomer isolator system maintains optimal
performance with mounting angle fluctuations of ±10°,
ensuring the driveline system is correctly aligned and
operating smoothly and efficiently.
