The Volvo Penta 3888555 is a genuine OEM transom plate gimbal bearing designed for SX-A, TSK-A, and TSK-B model sterndrives. It supersedes part number 3883629. This sealed, non-greasable bearing supports and aligns the sterndrive input shaft where it passes through the transom shield, allowing smooth rotation while maintaining driveline alignment.

Compatible with SX, DP, DPS, and SX-M series drives. Verify drive model and serial number prior to installation.
