XRAY NT1 Thrust Bearing Retainer (spring steel) - Arrowmax AM-NT1-330003  [AM-NT1-330003]

Thrust bearing retention details

The Arrowmax AM-NT1-330003 thrust bearing stopper is a spring steel retention clip specified for the XRAY NT1 chassis. It is used to hold the axial position of thrust and ball bearings inside the drivetrain where predictable preload and solid retention are required during setup and workshop work.

This small part serves a precise technical role: keep a thrust bearing located on its shaft or carrier, oppose axial movement under load, and provide a consistent contact point for setting preload. Spring steel construction gives it enough flexibility to fit while supplying consistent clamp force to stop bearings moving during normal running.

Assembly notes: install the clip with care, check bearing alignment and seating before final assembly, ensure bearings spin freely once fitted, and examine the stopper regularly for wear. It is valuable for maintaining consistent preload when changing gears, rebuilding diffs, or conducting high-speed drivetrain inspections on NT1 cars.
