# 1556083 Shoulder Screw | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

This genuine Volvo Penta shoulder screw is a structural fastening, locking or support component used in the oil sump and lubrication-system fastening. It is manufactured to the original Volvo Penta dimensions and interface requirements so the assembly retains its designed clamp load, support and alignment. In service, it locates and fastens the matched oil-sump/lubrication component with the specified shoulder length. Fitment is controlled by the exact engine or product configuration and serialised parts list; confirm OEM number 1556083 against the installed assembly before ordering.

## 🔌 Function

A shoulder screw fastens and simultaneously locates a component, with the unthreaded shoulder setting the seating position while the threads provide clamping force. Correct torque and an undamaged shoulder are essential to keep the mated parts aligned in service.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Stripped, galled or cross-threaded threads that prevent correct torque
-   Corrosion or seizing making removal difficult or causing breakage
-   Repeated loosening under vibration, indicating a worn or stretched screw
-   Wear or scoring on the locating shoulder allowing the attached component to shift
-   Damaged or rounded head from previous removal attempts

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   A shoulder screw locates as well as clamps, so check the shoulder diameter and length against the one removed and never substitute a plain screw of the same thread
-   Inspect the shoulder and the bore or bush it locates in for wear, scoring and ovality; a worn shoulder lets the part it positions move
-   Make sure the shoulder bottoms properly in its bore or against its face, and check that the part it locates still sits or moves as intended
-   Tighten to the figure in the workshop manual for your engine — the clamp is taken on the shoulder, so extra torque only stretches or shears the screw
-   Renew any locking washer, tab or nut that came with it, and use thread lock or sealant only where the manual calls for it
