Dana Holding Corp. recently announced that its Spicer brand of universal joints, including Spicer Life Series premium performance universal joints, are now being sold through CARQUEST Auto Parts, an aftermarket distributor of automotive replacement parts with 3,000 locations throughout North America.

"By teaming up with CARQUEST, we are meeting the strong demand for premium aftermarket products from professional technicians and enthusiasts alike," said Bill Gryzenia, vice president and general manager for the Dana Aftermarket. "The trusted Spicer brand has been around for more than a century, and with the ongoing development in Dana’s premier products, we continue to supply superior technology and quality to meet the unique needs of the market."

Manufactured to the same high standards as original-equipment (OE) parts, Spicer u-joints ensure reduced wear and a long service life, while maintaining maximum performance to fit today’s vehicles, according to Dana. Additionally, Spicer u-joints are uniquely crafted to ensure proper balancing for reduced noise, vibration and harshness (NVH); less downtime; and simplified, more cost-effective vehicle maintenance, the company says.
