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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-1711\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBearing Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cross Bearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Lubricant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grease\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.85 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 Count\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 808282167196\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUniversal u-joint cross bearing; no specific engine, horsepower, or model-year fitment is listed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMercury Marine 862132T\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Sierra 18-1711 U-Joint Cross Bearing used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a cross bearing that fits inside a marine drive u-joint assembly, allowing the joint to pivot smoothly while transmitting rotational power; the Sierra 18-1711 is used to replace a worn or damaged cross bearing during u-joint service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 18-1711 cross bearing replace an OEM Mercury Marine part?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Sierra 18-1711 is a direct equivalent to Mercury Marine part number 862132T.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the 18-1711 cross bearing made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made from alloy steel, matching the material specification of the original equipment part it replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Sierra 18-1711 cross bearing weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The bearing weighs 1.85 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many bearings come in one package of the 18-1711?\u003c\/strong\u003e Each package of the Sierra 18-1711 U-Joint Cross Bearing contains a single unit (1 count).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat kind of lubricant should be used with this cross bearing?\u003c\/strong\u003e Grease is the compatible lubricant for the Sierra 18-1711 U-Joint Cross Bearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-1711 a genuine Mercury Marine part or an aftermarket replacement?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a Sierra-branded aftermarket replacement built to OEM specification as an equivalent to Mercury Marine 862132T, not a Mercury Marine branded part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 18-1711 come with a warranty?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Sierra 18-1711 U-Joint Cross Bearing is covered by a limited warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 18-1711 cross bearing specific to certain engines or model years?\u003c\/strong\u003e No specific engine, horsepower, or model-year fitment is listed for the Sierra 18-1711; it is a cross bearing sized for standard marine u-joint assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for the Sierra 18-1711 U-Joint Cross Bearing?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC is 808282167196.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988088795355,"sku":"SIE-18-1711","price":162.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/SIE-18-1711_lg__25005.1558122752.500.750.jpg?v=1785188585","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sierra-18-1711-u-joint-cross-bearing-replaces-mercury-862132t-fits-mercruiser-alpha-one-bravo-gen-ii-mc-i-r-mr","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
