183497 Needle Bearing | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

This genuine Volvo Penta needle bearing is a precision rolling-element or raceway component used in the lower-gear housing needle-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. In service, it supports the specified lower-gear shaft in the gear housing where compact radial support is required. Selection must be confirmed by OEM part number 183497, the exact engine/product model, serial number and installed configuration.

🚤 Compatibility

• Engine Family: AQ, MD, TMD, AD, AQAD, D, BB, TAMD, MS, B, DP, SP, AQD, MB

⚙️ Key Features

• OEM Volvo Penta part number 183497
• Supersedes previous part number 875523
• Net weight 0.197 kg
• Fits AQ, MD, TMD, AD, AQAD and D series engines and drives

🔌 Function

Supports the specified lower-gear shaft in the gear housing where compact radial support is required. 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 grinding at the bearing location
• Scoring or indentation of the shaft running surface
• Rollers seized, flattened or displaced from the cage
• Play or vibration at the supported shaft
• Steel debris in the oil

🛠️ Service Notes

• Supersedes the earlier part number 875523 — expect that older reference on legacy parts lists to lead to this bearing
• At 0.197 kg this is measurably heavier than needle bearing 181288 used in the older MD5A-generation gear sets, consistent with the wider AD/AQAD/TAMD/D-series coverage this number carries
• Confirm the exact housing and shaft size for your model before ordering — the fitment list spans many decades of engines and not every gear housing shares the same bore
