>> 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.
- 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.
- 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.
