This thrust washer is a critical component within the engine's rotating assembly, designed to manage axial loads and maintain precise clearances between moving parts. It is manufactured to meet stringent OEM quality standards, ensuring superior wear resistance compared to a worn or failed washer that can lead to excessive play and component damage. Symptoms of a failing thrust washer include a knocking or rattling sound from the engine, especially under load, and a potential loss of oil pressure.

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.
An audible knocking or deep rumbling noise originating from the engine, particularly noticeable during acceleration or deceleration, is the first sign. If ignored, this noise will intensify, and the excessive play can lead to premature wear on adjacent components like bearings and the crankshaft. Continued operation risks severe internal engine damage.
Ensure the crankshaft and connecting rod journals are meticulously cleaned and free of any burrs or debris before installation. Avoid reusing old thrust washers, as their precise dimensions are critical for proper engine function.
Always inspect main and connecting rod bearings for signs of wear or damage when replacing thrust washers.
