ME013644
Crankshaft Thrust Plate
Mitsubishi FUSO®

The Crankshaft Thrust Plate, identified by part number ME013644, is a crucial component of an engine's crankshaft assembly. It is designed to limit the forward and backward movement of the crankshaft within the engine block. The thrust plate is situated directly behind the crankshaft's rear main bearing and acts as a buffer between the crankshaft and engine block. The plate is typically made of durable materials such as steel or aluminum and is bolted securely into place. Without a properly functioning thrust plate, excessive wear can occur on the engine's bearings, leading to premature failure and potential catastrophic damage to the engine.
