🔧 Product Description

Genuine BRP Evinrude Johnson Driveshaft Thrust Bearing Assembly - Part Number: 0387656

A genuine BRP axial-load bearing assembly used in selected Evinrude, Johnson and OMC outboard or sterndrive gearcases.

The bearing supports thrust generated through the driveshaft and gear train, helping maintain the correct vertical gear position and prevent metal-to-metal contact under propulsion load.

🔌 Function

The thrust bearing absorbs axial force created as the gears transmit engine torque.

Common signs of bearing failure:

• Gearcase whine or rumble

• Metal particles on the magnetic drain plug

• Excessive driveshaft vertical movement

• Gear-pattern damage

• Gearcase runs hot

• Roughness when the driveshaft is rotated

• Pitting or discolouration on the bearing surfaces

Installation considerations:

• Inspect the mating races and thrust washers

• Check driveshaft and pinion end float

• Replace contaminated gear lubricant

• Pressure- and vacuum-test the gearcase

• Establish the correct shim and preload settings

• Do not reuse a bearing that has been exposed to water-contaminated lubricant

📦 Condition

• Genuine BRP Evinrude Johnson OEM part

• Brand new

• Supplied in genuine or equivalent protective packaging
