Default Replacement parts from Sierra

I like to overhaul my TRS drives.

Has anybody experience with replacements like bellows and u- joints offered by Sierra.

We sell and use both Merc & Sierra, Never had any problems with Sierra and in some case look more quality then some of the Merc parts.

It all comes as a piece of mind and what you feel comfortable using, I wouldn't be worried to use Seirra.

Some aftermarket companies manufacture the name brand parts under contract. They obtain the rights to produce and market the same part under their name. Same part, same quality, lower price.

merc contracts out the manufacture of parts

many serria parts are made by the same people just packaged under a different name

the only thing I have had problems with are serria shift cables other then that have never seen any problems
