So I'm going to start buying parts I know I need.
Am I losing out on anything buy buying an aftermarket bellows kit in the $95 range as opposed to OEM for $260? Has all the same bellows, gimbal bearing, seals, and such. I would expect to inspect the bellows every year with a good chance of replacing them every other year, correct?

I recommend the OEM parts which are good for 5 - 10 years.

If you store with the drives down and keep it free of marine growth they last.
