I have just received the new version of Gimble bearing from Volvo penta for my 2001 SX-DP drive. It is quite a bit different. They have installed a rubber dampenning sleave between bearing outer race and out housing where it presses into drive. <br />The original bearing was the same physical amount<br />sticking out each side this one has the bearing protruding the housing and race on one side. Also <br />instead of having the sheet metal ring to make it a press fit it now has a outer shell like a seal.<br />Any inputs on direction it should go????<br />Also my original ujoints had outside spring clips <br />with no grease fitting and my replacement have inside slip rings???? Looks like the rubber may take care of noises so it may be a good thing.<br />HELP.<br />Charlie
