Yah. The driveshaft guy would know .
Dana, Eaton, Spicer are all the same companies.
I think Dana bought out Spicer several years ago.
Than after that Eaton bought out Dana.
As far as I know eaton HQ is still in Ohio.
They may have outsourced some stuff to China but pretty sure Eaton/spicer/ Dana is an American company, with offices world wide.

From what my driveline guy said Spicer sold out and are now Chineeze as of a couple of years ago. I was lucky to rebuild my driveshafts wih USA Spicer u joints before they sold out of USA joints.
I have a double cardan on my rear driveshaft.
I had driveline vibrations and my driveline guy found the yoke was causing it so I replaced it and no more vibrations since then.

That’s good to know, maybe my driveline shop owner is full of it but he had a stack of the same part number u joints for my truck and right on the box some read Made in USA and some read Made in China. He said lots of his Spicer parts were coming in with Made in China on them and he called his supplier and they told him they were Made in china now and once they sell all the parts Made in USA they would be gone.
I’m going to call him today, I got those from him a couple of years ago.
