The Differential Side Gear Thrust Washer sits between the side gear and the differential housing, preventing excessive lateral movement during equipment operation. This movement otherwise causes premature wear on the gears and bearings. When the equipment turns and accelerates, the thrust washer allows the side gear to rotate freely while maintaining proper alignment within the housing.

Attributes:
• Maintains proper alignment of side gears within the differential.
• Reduces friction between differential side gears and housing.
• Withstand high torque and pressure conditions.

Applications:
The Differential Side Gear Thrust Washer is located between the side gear and the differential housing to ensure the efficient operation of the differential by limiting the side-to-side movement of the side gear.
