WASHER SET

Clevite thrust bearings are made of Copper, lead, tin on a steel back. Thrust washers offer better alignment of the bearing surface to the crankshaft surface promoting a wider and more uniform contact because they are independent of the journal bearing. Thrust washers limit axial movement and provide a bearing surface. Thrust bearings are designed to support axial load. Thrust washers either have multiple tapered ramps and relatively small flat pads or have curved surfaces that follow a sine wave contour around their circumference.
