Engine Compatibility
Commonly associated with selected Volvo Penta sterndrive applications, including supportable references tied to SX-A, DPS-A, DPS-B, FWD, and older catalog references that also connect this part with DP-SM and SX-C family usage. Exact fitment can still vary by drive model and production range.
Serial Number Fitment Notice
Fitment may vary by drive model, driveline configuration, and production break. Always confirm compatibility by engine or drive model and serial number before ordering. Volvo Penta directs users to identify the exact engine, shield, or drive when locating the correct spare part.
When This Part Needs Replacement
Replace this spider when driveline service reveals worn bearing surfaces, looseness in the universal joint, corrosion, binding, damaged caps, or when the original component is no longer suitable for reliable reassembly in the intended drive unit.
Installation Notes
Confirm the exact application before installation and compare the new spider to the original driveline part during service. Inspect the related yokes, bearing caps, retaining hardware, and surrounding driveline components so the replacement is installed into a clean, properly supported assembly.
Alternate/Superseded Part Numbers
Current Volvo Penta references identify this item as 3850812. Related listing language also commonly describes it as a universal joint spider or U-joint spider for the supported application.
Parts Desk Insight
Universal-joint parts can look simple on the bench, but exact matching matters in sterndrive work. A spider that is right for one drive family may not suit another, so serial-number verification is the best way to avoid repeat labor and make sure the replacement fits the exact Volvo Penta setup you are servicing.
