Description:
PP-98230A1 MerCruiser Alpha & Bravo Gimbal Housing Upper Steering Pin
This upper steering pin restores tight, precise steering response by correctly securing the sterndrive to the steering system.
Located at the top of the gimbal housing, the steering pin acts as a critical pivot point, allowing the Alpha or Bravo sterndrive to turn smoothly left and right during steering. When worn, this component can cause steering play, clunking, and loose or inaccurate handling. Replacing it restores proper steering performance and control.
Also referred to as the swivel gimbal ring shaft.
