Volvo Penta SX-M U-Joint Replacement

[Don892]

I have a 2005 Volvo Penta 4.3 GL with a SX-M outdrive Product #3868893
1.79 ratio.

I need to change the u-joints. Number on the center of u-joint assembly is 36KV 04W49 3855714. (The V might be an N) I believe the 3855714 are the set of numbers we need. Number stamped on the u-joints are GKN 4F
The keepers are outside keepers


After reading through these forums I would believe I can press out the old
u-joints and put in new ones. I would make sure I draw a line on the shaft from one end to the other so I can put it back together the same way to help with balancing.
I do not have to buy a whole new shaft as Volvo Penta recommends.

My Question is for the Year 2005 SX-M drive what is the U-Joint part numbers that will fit properly with this U-Joint assembly.
I have from this forum
Volvo Penta PN 3860232
Sierra PN 18-6406

Others from this form that may work and able to buy from an auto store.
Spicer 5.4x
Precision 344
Rockford K4
SPICER# 5-1306X
ROCKFORD# K1306
DETROIT# 7260
NEAPCO# 1-6300 / 1-6301
PRECISION (MOOG)# 315G
TRW (FEDERAL MOGUL)# 20030 / 20030P

As you can see I have researched this forum on u-joints for the SX-M drive but I would like to be clear which u-joints will work properly for the 2005 year.

Thank you all for your help in advance and for this forum.

You have the outside keepers on your ujoints as shown in this picture.
Here are some other ujoint part numbers in this thread. http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=296325&p=2183168&viewfull=1#post2183168

The above info came from the Volvo Information section in the Adults Only sticky at the top of this forum.

Thanks Don S,
I zoomed in on the u-joint picture, and like you said the u-joints were identical, including the cast numbers and marking to the OEM u-joints. Have a nice evening.
