It replaces Volvo Penta 853496, 853863 and 872362, and it measures 39.50 mm internal diameter by 43.00 mm external diameter with a 50.00 mm overall diameter, shipping one bushing per pack at 18 g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe lower bushing takes the steering load and the salt water at the same time. When it wears, the arm develops play, the steering feels loose at the helm and the boat wanders instead of holding a course.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlay in a steering arm is easy to mistake for a cable problem. Before changing cables, lift the play out of the arm by hand: if the arm moves on its pin, the bushing is the part that has gone, and replacing it is a fraction of the cost of a cable and helm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFitment covers the lower position on Volvo Penta sterndrive and inboard steering arms. Volvo used this bushing across several revisions, so confirm the drive model and serial number before ordering rather than matching by eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth
