{"product_id":"volvo-penta-bushing-853223","title":"Volvo Penta Bushing 853223","description":"\u003cp\u003eVolvo Penta 853223 is a genuine OEM bushing used on older Volvo Penta sterndrive applications. Current Volvo Penta parts references identify 853223 simply as a \u003cstrong\u003ebushing\u003c\/strong\u003e, while current reviewed market references consistently tie it to the legacy \u003cstrong\u003ebushing kit 876279\u003c\/strong\u003e and show it replacing earlier part number \u003cstrong\u003e876279\u003c\/strong\u003e in single-piece service form. Current application references also place it in older drive-unit \/ steering-fork style sterndrive service, making it best described as a drive-side bushing rather than a general engine bushing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Volvo Penta OEM part number \u003cstrong\u003e853223\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurrent reviewed sources show \u003cstrong\u003e853223\u003c\/strong\u003e replacing or being associated with earlier \u003cstrong\u003e876279\u003c\/strong\u003e bushing-kit references.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually as a service part, with current replacement-market listings also showing it in 2-piece kit form under \u003cstrong\u003e876279\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurrent application wording ties it to drive-unit \/ steering-fork housing service on older Volvo Penta sterndrives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCurrent reviewed sources point to \u003cstrong\u003edrive compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e more clearly than engine-only fitment. The strongest public references associate Volvo Penta 853223 with older sterndrive families including \u003cstrong\u003e290, 290DP, SP-A, and DP-A\u003c\/strong\u003e, with additional seller wording describing it as a \u003cstrong\u003edrive-unit \/ steering-fork bushing\u003c\/strong\u003e. Fitment should be confirmed by exact drive model and serial number before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial Number Fitment Notice\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBushings in this part family can vary by drive generation, housing style, and steering-fork arrangement. Confirm Volvo Penta 853223 by drive serial number and by matching the original bushing location and dimensions before ordering. Volvo Penta's current parts shop continues to list \u003cstrong\u003e853223\u003c\/strong\u003e as an active genuine part number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen This Part Needs Replacement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReplace this bushing when the original shows wear, looseness, distortion, cracking, or damage found during steering-fork, drive-housing, or lower gearcase service. Because current reviewed sources place 853223 in older sterndrive steering \/ housing service, wear in this part can contribute to poor fit, added play, and accelerated wear in the surrounding hardware. This is service-based guidance grounded in the part's current drive-side bushing application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMatch the replacement directly to the original before installation and inspect the surrounding steering-fork \/ housing surfaces for wear. Since current references connect this bushing with the older \u003cstrong\u003e876279\u003c\/strong\u003e kit family, it is a good idea to check whether the service job calls for replacing both bushings together rather than only one worn piece. Serial-number confirmation remains the safest checkpoint before final assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlternate\/Superseded Part Numbers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCurrent reviewed references show Volvo Penta \u003cstrong\u003e853223\u003c\/strong\u003e associated with and replacing earlier \u003cstrong\u003e876279\u003c\/strong\u003e kit references. No newer confirmed Volvo Penta supersession is clearly shown in the reviewed current sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParts Desk Insight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor a part like 853223, the best buying checkpoint is the \u003cstrong\u003eexact drive-side location\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than the word “bushing” alone. Current references point most clearly to older sterndrive steering-fork \/ housing service and to the earlier \u003cstrong\u003e876279\u003c\/strong\u003e kit family, so matching the original bushing and confirming by drive serial number is the cleanest way to avoid ordering the wrong small part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShipping: Ships same or next day for fast Canada wide shipping. ⚓\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43564047826980,"sku":"853223","price":14.6,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/80eb3f60-4814-4986-9cff-e5d24d47033f.png?v=1776057293","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/volvo-penta-bushing-853223","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
