Dana Updates Spicer® Compact™ Series Plus Driveshafts to Increase Durability, Efficiency
Dana is currently producing versions of this driveshaft for medium-duty vehicles, and a series of six models to support a full range of torque capacities will be available by the second quarter of 2017.
Spicer Compact Series Plus driveshafts leverage Dana's expertise in driveshaft design to fully optimize performance. These driveshafts weigh up to 10 percent less than competitive offerings, making them the world's lightest steel driveshafts in their class. They also enhance vehicle performance through extended product life, increased durability, and improved sealing performance.
