Crankshaft Thrust Plate
Mitsubishi FUSO®

The Crankshaft Thrust Plate is a component in an engine that helps to control the movement of the crankshaft. The plate is located behind the rear main bearing and is designed to prevent the crankshaft from moving forward or backward too much. It is typically made of metal and has a smooth surface that allows it to slide easily against other engine components. The plate is held in place by bolts or screws and is designed to withstand the high pressures and temperatures generated by the engine. Over time, the plate may become worn or damaged, which can cause excessive movement of the crankshaft and lead to engine problems. Replacing the thrust plate can help to ensure proper engine performance and prevent costly repairs down the line.
