Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this bearing fits my engine?
The surest way is to match your original part's OEM number (0398874) with our listing. You can also use the Engine & Model Compatibility table to check your engine's HP, stroke, and year range.
What are the signs of a failing driveshaft bearing?
Common symptoms include a grinding or rumbling noise from the lower unit (especially when in gear), excessive vibration, or finding metal shavings in the gear oil during a change. A loose or rough-feeling driveshaft when turning by hand can also indicate a worn bearing.
When should this bearing be replaced?
Replace a driveshaft bearing whenever the lower unit is being serviced for other reasons (e.g., water pump replacement, resealing) or immediately if you notice signs of failure. There is no fixed interval; its lifespan depends on usage, maintenance, and operating conditions.
