Thrust Washer Set Mopar 5.7/6.4L Hemi Gen-3

The Thrust Washer Set Mopar 5.7/6.4L Hemi Gen-3 is a critical internal engine component engineered for Dodge, Chrysler, and Jeep vehicles equipped with third-generation Hemi powerplants. These washers manage crankshaft endplay—the axial clearance that allows the crank to float within acceptable tolerances—preventing catastrophic bearing wear and internal engine damage. Whether you're rebuilding a 5.7L or high-output 6.4L Hemi after high-mileage service or restoring a performance engine to factory specifications, proper thrust washer selection is non-negotiable for longevity and reliability.

Manufactured by DAIDO METAL USA under part number TS5291A, this thrust washer set is precision-engineered to OEM tolerances and material standards. DAIDO specializes in bearing and friction components, delivering washers with optimized bronze or composite friction surfaces that reduce crankshaft migration while maintaining proper oil film strength during cold starts and sustained acceleration. The compact design—measuring 4 x 0.5 x 4.5 inches and weighing just 0.14 lbs—ensures these washers fit precisely into the crankshaft main bearing saddle where they perform their critical duty of controlling endplay, typically to 0.002–0.010 inches depending on engine specification.

Mechanics and engine builders working on Gen-3 Hemi platforms—whether for street performance, stock restoration, or racing applications—trust OEM-equivalent thrust washer sets like this during complete engine rebuilds or lower-end service. Installation occurs during crankshaft seating at final assembly, making proper selection during the rebuild phase essential to avoid misalignment issues or excessive endplay that causes bearing knock and accelerated wear. This set is compatible exclusively with 5.7L and 6.4L Gen-3 Hemi engines found in 2003-2023 Dodge Charger, Challenger, Ram, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Chrysler 300C models, making it indispensable for anyone returning these engines to factory performance standards.
