L3Y211SK0 Mazda METAL SET,THRUST, Price: 48.29$, Weight: 0.07kg

Crankshaft Thrust Bearing Set ⚙️

This OE-grade thrust metal set keeps the crankshaft centered and controls end float. It protects the block and transmission by absorbing axial loads from the clutch or torque converter. With smooth thrust faces and precision oil grooves, it forms a stable film that prevents metal-to-metal contact, guarding the crank and main cap from wear.

Why you need it

Axial forces push the crank forward and backward every time you press the clutch or the gearbox changes load. Correct thrust bearings keep the crank in spec, maintain oil clearances, and ensure quiet, accurate timing and shifting.

How it works

Two semi-circular shells with durable steel-backing and anti-friction overlay sit at the main journal. They ride on engine oil, stabilizing the crank while letting it rotate freely under axial stress.

When worn or broken

Expect crankwalk, hard shifting, clutch engagement changes, scraping at idle, metal in oil, sensor misreads, and possible block or crank damage. Replace at the first sign of end-play out of spec.
