About This Part
Genuine Volvo Penta 984224 is an OEM needle roller bushing used in the drive shaft and bearing housing assembly of Volvo Penta DPH and DPR sterndrives. Parts diagrams place this bearing inside the lower drive, adjacent to the bearing box, adapter 21434619, O-rings, and sealing ring in applicable DPH/DPR assemblies. Volvo Penta uses several different roller, ball, and needle bearings within DPH, DPR, and DPI lower-drive assemblies — confirm drive model, serial number, and diagram position before ordering. Aftermarket cross-reference 19224 is not a Volvo Penta OEM supersession.
Compatible Applications
- Volvo Penta DPH-A — drive shaft bearing housing, needle roller bushing position (diagram-confirmed)
- Volvo Penta DPH-B — drive shaft bearing housing, needle roller bushing position (diagram-confirmed)
- Volvo Penta DPR-A — drive shaft bearing housing, needle roller bushing position (diagram-confirmed)
- Volvo Penta DPR-B — drive shaft bearing housing, needle roller bushing position (diagram-confirmed)
- Volvo Penta DPH-D / DPH-D1 — drive shaft bearing housing, needle roller bushing position (diagram-confirmed)
- Volvo Penta DPR-D — drive shaft bearing housing, needle roller bushing position (diagram-confirmed)
- Volvo Penta DPH-C, DPH-E, DPI-A, DPR-C — referenced in application catalogs; confirm against exact drive serial-number diagram
Always confirm drive model, serial number, and exact diagram position before ordering. Aftermarket cross-reference numbers are not Volvo Penta OEM supersessions.
When to Replace
Replace this needle roller bushing when inspection reveals any of the following:
- Rough or binding rotation during shaft inspection
- Excessive radial play in the drive shaft
- Pitting, scoring, or surface damage on rollers or races
- Corrosion from water contamination
- Visible roller or race wear
- Damage found during lower-drive or bearing-housing disassembly
Inspect this bushing whenever seals are replaced — water contamination that reaches the bearing housing should be treated as cause for bushing replacement, not just seal replacement.
Installation Notes
Inspect the associated shaft surfaces, bearing box, adapter 21434619, O-rings, sealing rings, and nearby bearings during service. Correct bearing installation depth, alignment, and surrounding seal and shim setup must follow the applicable Volvo Penta workshop procedure. A worn needle bearing can allow excessive shaft movement and accelerate wear elsewhere in the lower-drive assembly if not replaced during a full service.

- Note: Aftermarket catalog 19224 is a cross-reference only — not a Volvo Penta OEM supersession and should not be treated as equivalent.
Parts Desk Insight
984224 occupies a specific position in the DPH/DPR drive shaft bearing stack, and it sits alongside several other bearings in the same housing — making it easy to order the wrong part if you are matching by size or appearance rather than diagram position. The most common issue is replacing seals without inspecting or replacing this bushing when water contamination has reached the bearing housing. Water-contaminated needle bearings that get resealed will fail early and require a repeat lower-drive disassembly. If you are replacing O-rings and sealing rings in this assembly, inspect 984224 at the same time and replace it if there is any sign of corrosion or roughness.
