1652989 Ball | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

This genuine Volvo Penta ball is a precision hardened mechanical element used in the gearbox or driveline detent/bearing arrangement. It is manufactured to the original Volvo dimensional, material and interface requirements so the serviced assembly retains its designed alignment, sealing, load capacity and operating reliability. In service, it acts as a precision rolling or detent element within the matched transmission or driveline assembly. Selection must be confirmed by OEM part number 1652989, the exact engine/product model, serial number and the installed assembly configuration.

🚤 Compatibility

• Engine Family: AQ, TD, TWD, BB, TID, B, MD, MB, AQD

🔌 Function

Acts as a precision rolling or detent element within the matched transmission or driveline assembly. Confirm the ball diameter and schematic position before installation; renew the associated spring, seat or race if worn.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Excessive play or knocking in the joint under load
• Visible wear flats, scoring or pitting on the ball surface
• Corrosion or rust build-up causing stiff or binding movement
• Squeaking or creaking as the joint articulates
• Separation of the ball from its socket, causing loss of control or connection

🛠️ Service Notes

• Renew the ball whenever the valve or seat it works in is dismantled — a ball that has bedded into one seat will not seal in another
• Work spotlessly clean and handle it with clean hands or a magnet; grit carried in on a ball goes straight into the fuel or hydraulic circuit
• Inspect the seat for pitting, a wear ring or damage before fitting, because a marked seat will leak with any new ball
• Seat the ball with a soft drift and light taps only where the workshop manual for your engine actually calls for it to be seated, and never drive it in harder than the manual says
• Check the spring, guide or retainer that works with the ball is present, undamaged and fitted in the right order, then check the valve holds before returning the system to service
