Volvo Penta Bushing Kit 876279

OEM Part Number: 876279
Part Type: Steering Fork / Gearcase Bushing Kit
Application: Sterndrive steering fork and lower gearcase pivot bushings

Product Description

The Volvo Penta 876279 bushing kit is designed to replace worn bushings in the steering fork or lower gearcase assembly of Volvo Penta sterndrive systems. These bushings support pivot points within the drive assembly, helping maintain proper alignment and smooth steering movement.

Over time, bushings can wear due to constant movement, vibration, and exposure to marine environments. Replacing worn bushings with the OEM Volvo Penta 876279 kit helps restore proper steering function, reduce mechanical play, and prevent premature wear on connected components.

The kit typically includes two replacement bushings designed to service both sides of the steering fork assembly.

This bushing kit is used in Volvo Penta sterndrive assemblies, which are paired with a wide range of gasoline and diesel marine engines.

How to Verify Compatibility Using Your Engine Serial Number

Volvo Penta engines and sterndrives include identification plates listing the engine model, drive model, and serial number. This information should always be verified before ordering drivetrain components.

Typical locations include:

• On the engine block

• On the sterndrive housing

• On the transom shield or mounting bracket

To confirm compatibility:

1. Locate the sterndrive model and serial number on the identification plate.

2. Check the Volvo Penta parts catalog or sterndrive diagram for your specific drive serial number range.

3. Confirm that bushing kit 876279 is listed for the steering fork or intermediate housing assembly.

Because sterndrive components vary by drive model and serial range, verifying the serial number ensures the correct bushing size and fitment.
