I have a 2004 280 Sundancer with twin 4.3L engines and Alpha one gen 2 drives. I pulled the port drive off over the weekend and a good amount water came out of the u-joint bellow. I believe the leak occurred at the mounting gasket. I just replaced the gimbal bearing two years ago. Should I replace the gimbal bearing?
 
On a budget... give it a good feel and make a decision.

For piece of mind... you know the answer :)
 
Thanks for the quick and honest response! I might as well get two, I’t time to do the starboard side as well.
 
How old do you think the are, as said above go by feel. I would replace both
 
The one that suffered the leak is 2 years old. I replaced it two seasons ago.
