Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know which shims to use?
Refer to your Volvo Penta service manual for the correct shim selection procedure and clearance specifications. Proper measurement is crucial for correct steering feel and performance.
What are the signs that my steering system needs new shims?
Symptoms of incorrect shimming include excessive play or "slop" in the steering wheel, stiffness or binding when turning, or audible clunking sounds from the sterndrive unit during operation.
Is this kit compatible with all Volvo Penta DP drives?
This kit is designed for a range of DP drives, but you must verify that part number 3860808 is correct for your specific model and year by checking your parts diagram or service manual.
Can I reuse my old shims?
It is strongly recommended to use new shims. Old shims can become compressed, worn, or damaged, which will prevent an accurate adjustment and may lead to premature failure.
