## ⚙️ Key Features

-   0.862 kg
-   79 applications across the AQ, AD, D, TMD, BB and MS families
-   Shares its fitment with lever 853225 and spacer ring 853528

## 🔌 Function

Carries rotation or pivoting movement between the components mounted on it, running in its bearings or bushings.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Play or knock where the shaft runs in its support
-   Shaft found scored, stepped or polished where it turns
-   Stiff or notchy movement of the parts it carries
-   Corrosion pitting along the bearing journals
-   Shaft bent, so the assembly binds at one point in its travel

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Renew the bushings or bearings the shaft runs in at the same time - a new shaft in worn bearings will not last
-   Check spacer ring 853528 for wear while the shaft is out, since it sets the shaft's endfloat
