>> C << Crankshaft Thrust Bearing Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Install the thrust bearings in the number 3 bearing bore in the cylinder block and in the bearing cap. For easier installation, apply engine oil to the bearings; this will help hold them in position.
  2. The thrust bearings must be installed with their groove toward the crankshaft web. The two thrust bearings are different from each other. One has a tab while the other has no tab. Be careful not to confuse them.
