183326 Roller Bearing | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

This genuine Volvo Penta roller bearing is a precision rolling-element or raceway component used in the ring-gear carrier tapered-bearing position. 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. Two bearings are used in the documented ring-gear carrier. In service, it supports the ring-gear carrier and maintains differential gear alignment under high radial and thrust loading. Selection must be confirmed by OEM part number 183326, the exact engine/product model, serial number and installed configuration.

⚙️ Key Features

• OEM part number 183326
• Two bearings are used in the documented ring-gear carrier

🔌 Function

Supports the ring-gear carrier and maintains differential gear alignment under high radial and thrust loading. Measure shaft and housing fits, renew contaminated lubricant and related seals, and install using force only through the race being fitted. Set preload or end float to the applicable Volvo Penta specification.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Rumbling or growling from the drive that changes with load rather than with speed
• Increasing backlash, or a clunk as drive is taken up and reversed
• Fine bright metallic particles in the drained oil
• Bearing preload lost, leaving detectable end float at the ring-gear carrier
• On strip-down, flaked or spalled roller and cup surfaces with a scored, heat-discoloured cage

🛠️ Service Notes

• Two bearings are used in the ring-gear carrier, so renew them together and set the preload as a pair
• Cup and cone are a matched set - never run a new cone in an old cup
• Roller bearing 183351 is listed for the same carrier position at a different size, so confirm which one your side takes from the assembly drawing
