⚙️ Key Features

• 0.278 kg
• 10 applications on TAMD series engines
• Distinct from stud 975132, which covers a different set of engines
• Quantity varies by assembly, most commonly five

🔌 Function

Screws permanently into a casting to give a fixed threaded post, so the joint can be clamped by a nut and the casting thread is not worn by repeated assembly.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Thread damaged or stripped at either end
• Stud winding out of the casting when the nut is slackened
• Stud stretched or necked down along the shank
• Corrosion or seizure where the stud passes through the joint
• Nut loosening in service or the joint weeping

🛠️ Service Notes

• Check the female thread in the casting before fitting a new stud, as a stud that pulls out usually means the casting thread has gone
• Wind the stud in against a locked double nut rather than gripping the plain shank

📦 Condition

• Genuine Volvo Penta part
• Brand new
• Supplied in original or equivalent packaging
