Could be, pull yoru oil pan off, and check your crank endplay.

Yes... you can get new thrust bearings but it depends on how chewed up your crank is. You will also stand the chance of it happening again, if indeed you can put new thrust bearings back in. It could last another 120,000 miles or it could last 100 miles. I have asked about it at my local dealership and they told me that they would have to drop the oil pan first to make sure. They quoted me roughly $800 bucks including labor for the replacement.
