Motive Gear Pinion Gear Thrust Washer, for Ford 8.8, Each

Keep pinion end-play in check through every hard launch and trail-brake.

• ▸Machined specifically for Ford 8.8 differential geometry
• ▸Controls axial load under acceleration and braking
• ▸Essential for ring and pinion swaps or bearing rebuilds
• ▸Addresses clunking caused by excessive pinion movement
• ▸Motive Gear precision — not a generic stamped substitute

A worn or undersized thrust washer lets the pinion walk under load, accelerating ring and pinion wear and introducing the kind of driveline slop that compounds quickly on track. Motive Gear machines this washer to Ford 8.8 tolerances, so end-play sets correctly the first time. At this price point, fitting a known-spec component instead of a generic piece is a straightforward decision.
