Serial Number Fitment Notice
Volvo Penta used different bearing-carrier and U-joint arrangements across its sterndrive families. Do not select this carrier by engine model or appearance alone — verify the XDP drive identification plate and confirm the schematic position specifies 3860191 before ordering.
When This Part Needs Replacement
Replace the bearing carrier when inspection reveals any of the following:
- Cracking, distortion, or impact damage to the carrier body
- Corroded or damaged bearing or seal seating surfaces
- Excessive wear allowing bearing movement or misalignment
- Damaged mounting, retaining, or locating surfaces
- Wear discovered during U-joint or upper-drive overhaul
Persistent drive noise, vibration, lubricant leakage, or U-joint play requires inspection of the complete assembly — not just the carrier.
Installation Notes
Installation requires disassembly of the drive's U-joint and bearing-carrier assembly. While the carrier is removed, inspect U-joints, bearings, seals, retaining rings, and adjoining shaft surfaces. Press bearings and seals using the Volvo Penta workshop procedure and appropriate tooling — do not drive them through the rolling elements.

Parts Desk Insight
Bearing-carrier damage almost always comes with wear on the surrounding bearings, seals, or U-joints. If you're pulling the drive for the carrier, it's worth inspecting the full assembly at the same time — catching worn bearings or a failing U-joint during the same service saves another drive removal later.
