Aftermarket Replacement Thrust Bearing 43229-23320-71 for Toyota
Category: Thrust Bearings
Product Description
This aftermarket thrust bearing is a cost-effective solution for replacing a worn or damaged thrust bearing in select Toyota forklifts. Thrust bearings are crucial components that support axial loads (forces along the shaft) in rotating assemblies.
Thrust bearings can support the transmission's input shaft, handling axial loads from the engine. In some transmissions, thrust bearings are part of the clutch release mechanism. This high-quality replacement ensures proper support and reduces friction, extending the life of your forklift's critical systems.

Signs of Faulty or Damaged Thrust Bearings
-
Unusual Noises: In some cases, a damaged thrust bearing might create clicking or clunking sounds.
-
Vibration: You might feel unusual vibrations in the steering wheel, gear shifter, or other parts of the forklift. This vibration can be more noticeable at certain speeds or under load.
-
Steering Problems: A worn thrust bearing in the steering system can make the steering feel stiff, jerky, or unresponsive.
-
Premature Wear of Related Components: A failing thrust bearing can cause misalignment and excessive wear on the gears, shafts, or other components it supports.
-
Metal Shavings in Oil: If the thrust bearing is severely worn, metal shavings might be present in the oil (transmission oil, hydraulic oil, etc.). This is a sign of severe wear and requires immediate attention.
-
Overheating: In some cases, a failing thrust bearing can generate excessive heat, which might be noticeable in the surrounding area.
Recommended Use/Applications
The 43229-23320-71 thrust bearing is not a general-purpose part. It is designed for specific Toyota forklift models.
