Spicer Gearing
Get Superior Performance with
Genuine Spicer Products.
Spicer products deliver the same high performance
you expect from OE parts. That’s because they are
OE parts, manufactured to the exact standards that
have made us an industry leader for more than a
century. Spicer gearing ensures longer axle life and
reliable savings—see the difference for yourself!
Lower quality steel
Machining that makes gear set-up difficult, resulting in
increased stress and fatigue—and premature failure
Inconsistent heat-treating, resulting in steel that’s too
hard or too soft—either of which increases risk of failure
Testing proves that non-genuine parts experience
significantly fewer cycles before failure
