No washer needed here…when using a bearing with cage and roller assembly

 

No washer needed here…when using a bearing with cage and roller assembly, http://www.vxb.com/page/bearings/PROD/Kit8683 a separate raceway washer is not needed if the gear side is used as a raceway. This saves space and allows the bearing to be even more compact. If the bearing is placed in a housing, that will not allow the gear side to be used as a raceway, using an integrated bearing facilitates handling and mounting. Thrust bearings are often used in automobile drive trains, compressors, hydraulic pumps, machine tools, and industrial machinery.

Bought this bearing to replace the front passenger side strut bearing on my 97 Geo Metro. The bearing came in the mail within a few days of placing my order, and it seems to be holding up well so far.... Eric, Burlington, VT
