1556353 Bushing | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

This genuine Volvo Penta bushing is a replaceable locating, spacing or bearing-support component used in the front shaft support. It is manufactured to the original Volvo Penta dimensions and interface requirements so the supported component retains the specified clearance, spacing and location. In service, it provides the front replaceable bearing surface for the matched shaft. Fitment is controlled by the exact engine or product configuration and serialised parts list; confirm OEM number 1556353 against the installed assembly before ordering.

🔌 Function

The bushing provides a precise bearing and location surface for a moving or mounted component within the fuel system, maintaining correct alignment and controlled clearance in service. Correct bushing condition keeps the associated fuel system parts operating without excess play or misalignment.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Excessive play or looseness in the component it supports
• Visible wear ridges, scoring or ovality on the bore
• Knocking, rattling or vibration traced to the fuel system mounting area
• Fuel seepage or weeping where the bushing has worn out of round
• Erratic fuelling or governor response caused by worn locating clearance

🛠️ Service Notes

• Check the housing bore and the shaft or pin that runs in the bushing before fitting a new one; a worn or scored mating part will chew out a new bushing quickly
• Press bushings in squarely with a press and a correctly sized drift or mandrel — hammering one straight in distorts it and ruins the fit
• Where the bushing has an oil hole, groove or slot, line it up with the feed in the housing before it is pressed home
• Lubricate on assembly with the oil or grease specified for that part of the engine or drive, and follow the manual if it calls for the bore to be checked or sized after fitting
• Do not soak a self-lubricating bushing in solvent or degreaser, and keep sealant and thread lock off the running surface
