This is a thrust washer, a crucial component in rotating assemblies that manages axial load and prevents metal-to-metal contact between moving parts. It is manufactured to precise tolerances, offering excellent wear resistance and smooth operation compared to a worn or scored washer. A failed thrust washer can result in increased end play, noise, and potential damage to adjacent components.
Always verify with serial number before ordering.

Inspect mating surfaces for wear before fitting. Use torque specs from service manual. Replace gaskets and seals as a set — reusing compressed gaskets causes oil leaks. Clean all oil passages with compressed air.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
The first sign of a worn thrust washer is often an audible knocking or rattling noise from the engine, particularly during changes in engine speed. If ignored, excessive end play can develop, leading to premature wear on crankshafts and connecting rods. This can ultimately compromise the structural integrity of the engine's rotating assembly.
Always lubricate thrust washers thoroughly with clean engine oil before installation to prevent initial startup damage. Ensure they are seated correctly in their respective grooves or journals.
Inspect the crankshaft and connecting rod journals for any scoring or wear when replacing thrust washers.
