NICHE CYLINDER WASHER
Cylinder thrust washers are flat circular bearings that are usually positioned between a moving component and a immobile component. They are specially made to support higher workloads than standard washers. Their primary purpose is to keep the moving component in place by giving it something to rub against if it begins to move side to side.
When to replace?
- Washer is misaligned.
- Grinding or rattling noises can be heard.
- Observable bending or cracking in the washer.
