Thrust bearings

RC thrust bearings for smooth, precise differentials.

An RC thrust bearing handles the axial load inside a ball differential, letting it turn smoothly and hold its setting. This category covers thrust bearings and the balls and washers that go with them.A fresh thrust assembly keeps diff feel consistent. See all bearings in ball bearings.

Frequent Questions & Answers
What does a thrust bearing do?

It carries the axial (side) load in a ball differential, so the diff turns smoothly and holds its adjustment under power.

How do I know my thrust bearing is worn?

A gritty or notchy diff feel, or a diff that will not hold its setting, points to worn thrust balls or washers that need replacing.

Can I rebuild a thrust bearing?

Yes, the balls and washers are replaceable. Clean the parts, fit fresh balls and washers with the right grease, and reassemble.
