🔧 Product Description

This genuine Volvo Penta brake cam is a left/right-specific Z-cam brake shaft used in the right rear Z-cam brake camshaft. 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. Right-hand/rear-axle application. Cam length below head: 285 mm. Overall length commonly catalogued around 322 mm. 48-tooth Z-cam form. In service, it rotates the right-side Z-cam mechanism to expand the brake shoes against the drum. Selection must be confirmed by OEM part number 1696643, the exact engine/product model, serial number and the installed assembly configuration.

  • Excessive camshaft/bush play
  • Brake shoes slow to apply or release
  • Camshaft binding, corrosion or poor lubrication
  • Uneven lining wear, noise or reduced braking efficiency

🛠️ Service Notes

  • Independent listings confirm this as the right-hand rear-axle Z-cam brake camshaft, distinct from the mirror-image left-hand 1696642, and the same design is used on Volvo's truck and bus chassis — 48-tooth, 285 mm cam length below the head, about 322 mm overall
  • It supersedes earlier part number 1696439; renew the cam bushes and seals and reset the brake adjustment once it is fitted
