This is a thrust washer, a critical component in engine or transmission assemblies that controls the amount of axial play in rotating shafts. Manufactured to precise tolerances, it prevents excessive movement and wear between mating surfaces, unlike a worn washer which would show signs of scoring or material transfer. Operators may notice increased noise, vibration, or a noticeable 'clunk' from the drivetrain when a thrust washer begins to fail.
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.
Initial signs of a failing thrust washer may include a faint knocking sound from the engine, particularly under load. If ignored, this can progress to a more pronounced knocking or rattling noise and potential loss of oil pressure. Continued operation risks severe damage to the crankshaft and main bearings.
Ensure that the oil passages in the thrust washer and the corresponding crankshaft journals are perfectly clean and unobstructed. Never reuse old thrust washers, as they are designed for single-use and wear patterns.
Inspect the main bearings and crankshaft journals for any signs of scoring or wear when replacing thrust washers.
