Volvo Penta Bushing 852912

Volvo Penta 852912 is a genuine OEM bushing used in Volvo Penta sterndrive and transom-shield related applications. Current parts references identify 852912 simply as bushing, and multiple marine parts sources more specifically associate it with suspension fork / steering suspension / transom shield style assemblies rather than as a general-purpose hardware bushing.

Key Features

• Genuine Volvo Penta OEM part number 852912.
• Official part description: bushing.
• Current application references connect it to suspension fork and steering suspension style assemblies.
• Used in Volvo Penta sterndrive / shield-related service applications rather than as a universal bushing.

Engine Compatibility
Current fitment references connect Volvo Penta 852912 to a broad range of older Volvo Penta sterndrive families, including 270, 275, 280, 280DP, 285, 290, 290DP, SP-A, SP-A1, SP-A2, SP-C, SP-E, DP-A, DP-B, DP-C, DP-D, and DP-E style applications. Because bushings can vary by shield, fork, and steering-related assembly version, fitment should still be treated as drive- and serial-specific and verified to the exact unit before ordering.

Serial Number Fitment Notice
Always confirm 852912 against the exact Volvo Penta drive serial number and the correct parts diagram before ordering. That is the safest way to match the bushing to the correct suspension fork, steering support, or transom shield assembly.

When This Part Needs Replacement
Replace this bushing when the original part is worn, loose, cracked, seized, ovalled, or no longer supporting the related fork or steering/pivot component correctly. On sterndrive steering and suspension-related assemblies, worn bushings can contribute to excess play, poor alignment, and accelerated wear in surrounding parts.

Installation Notes
Install only in the correct matched Volvo Penta application. Inspect the related pin, fork, steering support area, and surrounding bore surfaces before reassembly, and follow the correct Volvo Penta service information for the serial-numbered drive. Correct fit and bore condition matter just as much as the replacement bushing itself.

Alternate/Superseded Part Numbers
Current sources reviewed list this part under Volvo Penta number 852912. One current replacement-market reference also associates it with aftermarket equivalent REC852912. Cross references should always be matched carefully to the exact application before use.

Parts Desk Insight
Bushings like 852912 are small parts, but they can make a big difference in how tight and accurate an older Volvo Penta sterndrive assembly feels. Replacing a worn bushing before it damages the surrounding fork or shield hardware is usually a smart move during steering or suspension service.
