I just installed a new engine in the Cobalt, so I wanted to replace the gimbal bearing and do the U-joint bellows while I was at it. I Wanted a OEM bellows, and that's what I got. This is not what I had though. This new Volvo bellows with instructions said it was a newer and longer lasting replacement. The center section of bellows was a hard plastic, like an ABS or a vinyl. Then each end was molded with regular rubber like I'm used to. It was a lot harder to install, not being as flexible. Well I put everything back together and ran the boat for about 3 hrs. I have a trip coming up to Lake Powell, and I think I will pull the drive and check for leaks. I don't know why I worry about it, but I do. Any of you out there every use one of these ? I wish I would have taken a picture. Dave R.
