1999 Volvo U-Joint and Trim Cylinder kit

[jimc46]

I have a 1999 Volvo 5.0 GI with a Sx-M 1.60 ratio drive. I would like to do two things the first is to replace the u-joints and the second is to repair the trim cylinders.. Can anyone provide me with the correct part number for the U - Joint and secondly does anyone know if there are repair kits for the trim cylinders ?

Thanks in advance.

Look at these two threads on the ujoints.

Volvo doesn't sell kits for the trim cylinders, it's been mentioned a few times that the kits for the OMC Cobra drives might work, but haven't heard if they really work or not.

Yes the trim kits work quite well, takes about 20 minutes. Now this is going to sound funny but.....the directions tell you to cut up a pop can to be used as a sleeve to guide the new rings into place. Make the sleeve 1" longer that stated... Easy job and has held for a 1 1/2.
