Axle Thrust Bearing

Product Code: THRUST-BEARING
Qty:

Description
 
Replace the washers on your axles with Thrust Bearings to add just a bit more speed, efficiency, and reduce motor amp draw. It's not a huge gain, but could give you that competitive edge. And that's why it's only $1.70 per wheel.

On front wheels put between the wheel and steering linkage to reduce the friction rub. Do not put the cap nut on so far that it binds. Leave just a hair of play.

On rear wheels put between the wheel and cap nut / axle nut to reduce the rear axle spin. Rear axles are not supposed to spin and increase resistance on the motor when they slip in the chassis. Adding thrust bearings will reduce or eliminate this occurrence. Do not put the cap nut on so far that it binds. Leave just a hair of play.

Will not work on hollow rear axles.

5 of 5 Makes a difference June 1, 2023
Reviewer: Jared Heckman from Pea Ridge, AR United States  
I put them on the outside of all the wheels as recommended.  I'm sure it depends on the vehicle, but I was able to get them in place with a bit of play by not bottoming out the nylock nuts.  Wheels definitely roll smoother.

2 of 5 Couldn’t get wheel on Hurricane June 9, 2022
Reviewer: Anonymous Person  
Also came with more bearings than washers. I didn’t reach out to ML as I just tried these this past weekend and purchased them weeks ago. With a previous experience with ML Customer Service they asked for pics of the shipment.  Quite frankly, it wasn’t worth the inquiry for additional washers.
