This thrust washer is a critical component within the engine's rotating assembly, designed to absorb axial loads and maintain precise clearances between moving parts. It is manufactured to meet stringent OEM material and dimensional standards, ensuring superior wear resistance compared to a worn or damaged washer that can lead to increased friction and play. Operators may notice increased engine noise, oil pressure fluctuations, or a general decrease in engine performance when this part 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.
Initial signs of a failing thrust washer may include a slight increase in engine noise, particularly at idle or under load. If ignored, the wear will progress, leading to noticeable end-play in the crankshaft, potentially causing oil pressure drops and reduced engine efficiency. Continued operation can result in severe crankshaft and bearing damage, necessitating a complete engine overhaul.
Ensure the crankshaft and connecting rod journals are meticulously cleaned and free of any debris before installation. Avoid rotating the crankshaft until all thrust washers are properly seated in their respective grooves.
Inspect crankshaft main and connecting rod bearings for wear or damage when replacing thrust washers.
