MX5 crankshaft axial bearing

These original Mazda axial bearings (thrust washers) are mounted on the crankshaft and prevent the crankshaft from axial movement (forward and backward). Suitable for the Mazda MX5 NB - NBFL (1998 - 2005) with a 1.8l engine.

These bearings absorb the forces created when the clutch is depressed and thus play an important role in the stability and life of the engine.

When worn, axial play develops on the crankshaft, which can lead to complaints such as difficult shifting, restless engine running or in severe cases engine damage.

Part number ZJY111SJ0 is the updated version and replaces older types such as B6Y311SJ0.

Notice:
There are several versions depending on year of manufacture. Checking based on engine number is recommended.
