>> A << Crankshaft Thrust Bearing Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Install the two thrust bearings in the number 3 bearing bore in the cylinder block. 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 side toward the crankshaft web.
