Land Rover Part Number: LEB101010L - Crankshaft Main Thrust Bearing
LEB101010L is a Crankshaft Main Thrust Bearing. Fitted within the crankshaft assembly, this bearing absorbs axial (end) loads and holds the crankshaft in its correct axial position on 2.5 KV6 petrol engines with automatic transmission. Its role is to prevent excessive crankshaft end float that can cause wear to thrust faces and adjacent bearing surfaces; it is commonly inspected and replaced during a bottom-end engine overhaul or if excessive axial play is detected.

Frequently Asked Questions
The crankshaft main thrust bearing takes axial forces from the crankshaft and ensures the crankshaft maintains correct end float, protecting the main bearing faces and thrust surfaces from wear. If the thrust bearing becomes worn, the crankshaft can move axially, potentially causing increased wear and oil seal leaks. Replacement is required if measured end float exceeds the manufacturer's specification or during major bottom-end engine repairs.
