21522419 Shim | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

A genuine 0.225mm precision shim used to set bearing position in applicable Volvo Penta DPH and DPR sterndrive universal-joint or bearing-carrier assemblies. The intermediate thickness allows fine adjustment when the standard 0.10mm, 0.15mm or 0.25mm shims do not produce the specified clearance.

🔌 Function

Fine-tunes the axial location of the bearing or shaft assembly to achieve the correct preload or end float.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Persistent end play after assembly
• Bearing heat from an over-tight stack
• Gear whine or vibration
• Seal leakage from incorrect shaft alignment
• Premature bearing damage

🛠️ Service Notes

• Shims are supplied in graded thicknesses and exist to bring a setting into specification, so measure with a micrometer and select the thickness the setting procedure for your engine calls for rather than matching one by eye
• Note which shim came from which position on removal and keep them identified — once an assembly has bedded in, shims are not interchangeable between positions
• Check both faces are clean, flat and free of burrs, corrosion and old sealant before fitting; dirt trapped under a shim shifts the setting as surely as the wrong thickness does
• Discard any shim that is dished, cracked, pitted or fretted rather than reusing it, and make sure no old shim has been left behind in the recess
• Recheck the clearance or setting after the assembly is tightened down, because clamping load can change the measurement you took loose
