Sierra U-Joint Cross Bearing 18-1711, Replaces Mercury Marine 862132T

The Sierra 18-1711 U-Joint Cross Bearing is a replacement cross bearing designed for marine drive u-joints, built from alloy steel for durability under the load and rotational stress a u-joint assembly sees in service. It is lubricated with grease and supplied as a single unit for straightforward swap-in replacement when an existing cross bearing has worn out or is being serviced as part of a u-joint rebuild. As a direct equivalent to the original Mercury Marine part, it is intended to restore u-joint function to factory specification without modification to the surrounding driveline components. The alloy steel construction is matched to OEM material specification, and the bearing carries a limited warranty. This part ships as one bearing per package and is intended for buyers replacing a worn or damaged cross bearing rather than a complete u-joint kit.
