2G 7 bolt thrust bearing pictures

[210 dsm]

I know the 98-99 7 bolts have the thrust washer and the older ones have the flange bearing(or the other way around, idk).

But is there actully a picture of the two style bearings so I can be sure of what I got. Or is the other style way different? It looks like a regular thrust bearing to me. I'm working on a 98 gst spyder by the way

IS the thrust bearing/main bearing connected or are the thrust bearings separate from the main bearing?

The search button and google work real good.

I did search first.

The one I got here is one piece. Like the one Middle/left in the picture. So whats that called?

You have an early 2g block then. You apparently don't have the same google that i do. It took 5 seconds to find that picture.

That would be called a Saddle thrust bearing, all being one piece.

The other style is called a split thrust bearing, or thrust washers.

Yup, You've got a 95-97 block. You would be fine rebuilding that block though.

As mentioned, sounds like you have the one piece, or the non revised 98-99 split thrust. While 98 model year awds & even some very late 97's, seemed to have the revised split thrust design, I have seen several fwd model year 98's that have the non revised design (myself included). Seems like Mitsu used up the non revised blocks in the fwd models.
