I’m wondering if anybody has any experience they can share with Meyle replacement u joints for Volvo Penta DP-SM 8.1L. I’m in the middle of replacing the u joints and would rather not buy the entire drive shaft as VP recommends. I have the newer style external clipped and factory balanced drive shaft. I bought what I thought were quality Meyle u joints but it turns out even though they are a German company, the box was stamped with “Made in China.” I did exhaustive internet searches including the I Boat forums and concluded that the Meyle replacement u joints would be a suitable replacement. But much to my chagrin I feel I received an inferior product. They are pressed in and ready to go but I’m having 2nd thoughts about this “Made in China” thing. I’m considering pulling them out and going with Precision 344 (Made in USA) replacements. Thoughts or comments with experience would be appreciated. Thanks
