Crafted from durable steel, it ensures long-lasting performance under severe conditions typical of heavy-duty diesel engines. Its precise inner and outer diameters guarantee a perfect fit within the crankshaft assembly, reducing wear and preventing axial movement that could compromise engine timing or cause damage. Proper installation of this component helps sustain engine balance, minimizes vibrations, and prolongs the lifespan of other crankshaft components. Its importance cannot be overstated, as it effectively prevents excessive endplay and maintains the correct thrust clearance — critical for optimal engine performance and reliability.
