DJ Rock TW970 Engine Crankshaft Thrust Washer Set

Premium Crankshaft Thrust Washer Set

DJ Rock TW970 is a premium engine crankshaft thrust washer set for rebuilding and restoring crankshaft endplay control. It is built for Toyota and Lexus V8 applications where precise axial control is critical to crankshaft stability, bearing life, and factory-clearance restoration.

Compatible With 1990-2010 Lexus and Toyota applications including Lexus LS400, SC400, GS400, LS430, GS430, LX470, SC430, GX470, and Toyota Land Cruiser, 4Runner, Sequoia, and Tundra.

• Premium-grade thrust washer set for engine rebuild service
• Upper and lower washers supplied as a matched set
• Controls crankshaft axial movement and endplay
• Precision-machined for specific engine applications
• Tri-metal or steel-backed copper-lead construction with durable overlay
• Works with crankshaft main bearings during bottom-end service

Application Details

TW970 is used in the engine block to limit crankshaft movement along the crank axis. In Toyota and Lexus engines, proper thrust control helps maintain alignment between the crankshaft and main bearings, reducing excess endplay that can accelerate wear. This part number is commonly selected during engine rebuilds when factory clearance specifications need to be restored. TW970 appears in rebuild searches for Lexus LS400 crankshaft thrust washer set, Toyota Tundra engine thrust washers, and Lexus LX470 crankshaft endplay repair.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive crankshaft endplay
• Crankshaft misalignment in the engine block
• Wear at the thrust surface during rebuilds
• Loss of factory clearance specifications
• Bottom-end instability caused by worn thrust washers

Installation Notes

Install with the correct main bearing set and verify crankshaft endplay against service specifications before final assembly. Clean all mating surfaces, confirm washer orientation, and inspect the crankshaft thrust surface for wear or scoring. TW970 is a precision engine component, so accurate measurement during assembly is important.

Quality Assurance

DJ Rock lists this as a premium-grade engine component. The thrust washers are manufactured to meet or exceed OEM quality standards and use wear-resistant layered materials selected for load-bearing engine service.
