MK501665
Front Axle Thrust Washer
Mitsubishi FUSO®

The Front Axle Thrust Washer, part number MK501665, is a small but important part of a commercial truck's front axle assembly. This washer is designed to prevent excessive movement of the front axle, which can cause damage to other parts of the vehicle and compromise safety on the road. Specifically, the Front Axle Thrust Washer is positioned between the front axle and the steering knuckle, providing a buffer against the forces generated by the vehicle's weight and movement. Without this washer, the front axle would be more prone to shifting and wobbling, leading to increased wear and tear on other parts of the vehicle. By providing a stable foundation for the front axle, the Front Axle Thrust Washer helps ensure that the vehicle remains safe and reliable, even under heavy loads and challenging driving conditions.
