# 22870265 Drive Shaft | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta drive shaft weighing 33.5 kg, listed for six applications across IPS pod drives and D series engines. Five drive shafts share this exact fitment list at 12.45, 33.5, 37.6, 46 and 57 kg, so shaft length must be matched to the installation - the part number is the only safe selector.

-   Volvo Penta D8A4-A MP

## ⚙️ Key Features

-   Drive shaft
-   33.5 kg

## 🔌 Function

Transmits engine torque down the driveline to the pod drive, carrying the full engine output between its two coupling points.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Vibration through the hull that rises with shaft speed
-   A knock as drive is taken up or reversed
-   Fretting or corrosion on the splines when the shaft is drawn
-   Splines worn or rolled over, found on strip-down
-   Shaft visibly bent, or coupling faces fretted and no longer running true

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   All five shafts in this family share the same fitment list, so length must be matched to the installation and the part number is the only safe selector
-   Check driveline alignment and the couplings at both ends before fitting - misalignment is what wears splines
