22870265 Drive Shaft | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta drive shaft weighing 33.5 kg, listed for six applications across IPS pod drives and D series engines. Five drive shafts share this exact fitment list at 12.45, 33.5, 37.6, 46 and 57 kg, so shaft length must be matched to the installation - the part number is the only safe selector.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Vibration through the hull that rises with shaft speed
• A knock as drive is taken up or reversed
• Fretting or corrosion on the splines when the shaft is drawn
• Splines worn or rolled over, found on strip-down
• Shaft visibly bent, or coupling faces fretted and no longer running true

🛠️ Service Notes

• All five shafts in this family share the same fitment list, so length must be matched to the installation and the part number is the only safe selector
• Check driveline alignment and the couplings at both ends before fitting - misalignment is what wears splines
