This thrust washer is a critical component within the engine's rotating assembly, designed to reduce friction and absorb axial loads between moving parts. It is manufactured to meet stringent OEM material and dimensional standards, ensuring superior wear resistance compared to a worn or grooved washer. Operators may notice increased engine noise, particularly a knocking sound under load, or a decrease in oil pressure if this washer begins to fail.

Cross-reference part number with serial number before ordering to confirm fitment. Keep original parts until new ones are confirmed correct. Record part numbers replaced for future reference.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
Early signs of thrust washer failure include a distinct knocking or rattling noise from the engine, especially when accelerating or under load. If left unaddressed, the noise will become more pronounced, and excessive play can develop in the crankshaft. Continued operation risks severe damage to the crankshaft and main bearing journals.
Ensure the crankshaft and connecting rod journals are meticulously cleaned and free of any burrs or debris before installation. Never reuse old thrust washers, as they are designed for single-use and will not provide adequate support.
Inspect crankshaft and main bearing journals for scoring or wear when replacing thrust washers.
