85122492 Volvo Trucks PLANET CARRIER

This part basically holds all the planet gears inside your differential. Think of it like a little house for those gears, keeping them spaced correctly and allowing them to spin and work together. It’s a pretty robust piece, made to handle a lot of stress. It also provides mounting points for the side gears and the pinion shaft. It’s a key component inside the differential, which is part of your drivetrain. Your engine sends power to the wheels, but those wheels need to spin at different speeds when you’re turning. The differential, and the planetary carrier within it, allows that to happen. It distributes power to the wheels while letting them rotate at different rates, so you don't scrub up the tires when you go around a corner. If this part goes bad, you’ll notice pretty quickly. It's under a lot of strain with every turn, so wear and tear happens. If it fails, you’ll likely hear a lot of clunking or grinding noise coming from the rear end, especially when accelerating or turning. It can also lead to complete loss of power to the wheels in a worst – case scenario. It acts like a shield for those delicate planet gears, so when it’s compromised, everything else suffers. Parts like this aren’t always easy to find, but we have a good selection at Fixparts Online, and I can check availability for your specific vehicle if you’d like. Easy returns and support: Planetary Carrier (MPN 85122492) has a 12-month warranty!
