# 853841 Spindle | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta spindle from the Marine Propulsion group, weighing 1.365 kg and listed for 39 applications across the AD, D, TSK, TMD, DP and DPX families. Spindle 853809 is published at exactly the same 1.365 kg on a different fitment, so weight is no guide at all here - separate the two by application and by the serial breakpoint carried on 853809.

## 🚤 Compatibility

-   **Engine Family:** AD, D, TSK, TMD, DP, DPX, TAMD, KAD

## ⚙️ Key Features

-   1.365 kg
-   39 applications across the AD, D, TSK, TMD, DP and DPX families
-   Same published weight as spindle 853809, which covers a different fitment

## 🔌 Function

Forms the pivot axis the assembly turns about, carrying the load through its journals as the surrounding parts rotate or swing.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Knock or play at the pivot
-   Assembly stiff or notchy through part of its travel
-   Journals scored, stepped or polished bright on inspection
-   Pitting where the spindle has been standing in water
-   Spindle bent, so the assembly binds at one point

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Do not order by weight against 853809 - both are published at 1.365 kg and only the fitment separates them
-   Renew the bushings the spindle runs in at the same time, and check the shaft turns freely before closing the assembly
