    Did it come from the factory like that?

    If so they probably got the prop shaft then just installed it without checking.

    New truck assemblers are mostly just parts fitter, they often have no understanding beyond their work station.

    seems to me the problem was in short UJ life. Not more.

    it is '02 Volvo VN, Canadian built.

    New owner wants to fix all before he operates the truck.

    Pablo please tell me where Volvo's Canadian factory is. They are telling everyone all there North American trucks are assembled in Virginia.

    Volvo Trucks Canada is the name of their Canadian Sales unit. The factory in the picture is NRV, the White factory they purchased in 1980 from bankrupt White Motor Co., and is located in Dublin, VA, USA.


    Neither do I understand your reference to metric dashboards. Many North American vehicles are designed in the Metric system. The Mack MH cabover which came out 30 years ago was designed 100% metric. Except for the engine trans and axles.
