U-Joint replacements

[Lakerider]

I found an old thread that lists automotive u-joint that work for a mercruiser alpha One gen. II outdrive. And it gives part numbers. I have a 1997 volvo/penta SX-c1 1:85 outdrive. Would the same u-joints work in mine. if not does any one have part numbers for my v/p outdrive ? Sorry I would put the link to the thread I am referring to in this thread if I only knew how. I know that would help you tell me if they are the same. From this spot i copied something fro
The other thread about part numbers hope this helps me get a clearer answer to my question, that is will these part numbers be the same for my sx-c1 volvo penta outdrive? Copied from here; I just went through this myself, along with the number Don gave, here's a more complete list that your auto parts guy can do something with:

SPICER# 5-1306X
ROCKFORD# K1306
DETROIT# 7260
NEAPCO# 1-6300 / 1-6301
PRECISION (MOOG)# 315G
TRW (FEDERAL MOGUL)# 20030 / 20030P

Re: U-Joint replacements

Look at your ujoints, do you have inside or outside keepers?

Inside keepers.

Then the numbers you posted are the right ones. Just make sure they haven't put grease zirks on the caps.

Re: U-Joint replacements

The caps stick out past the ends of the drive shaft and all the couplers by about 1/8 to 1/4 inch. I am wondering if someone put the wrong bearings in it They don't usually cone out past the cast part of the holes for the caps do they? I am using the wrong word to describe the actual parts they the u-joints go into but I am at a lose for the correct term for it. Sorry

Re: U-Joint replacements

I did see the picture of the grease zert in the cap in that thread. That seams crazy. I will for sure check and not get u-joints that have the fitting on the cap
Thanks for all your help

Nope, not the wrong ones. Those type bearings always stick out a little.
