COMP Cams 5494-ITB Idler Thrust Bearing for LS Street Gear Drive

The COMP Cams 5494-ITB is a direct-replacement idler thrust bearing designed specifically for use with the COMP Cams 5494 series LS Street Gear Drive timing system. This precision bearing supports the idler gear assembly, controlling axial load and maintaining proper gear alignment within the gear drive setup.

COMP Cams LS gear drives are engineered to eliminate the chain flutter and timing chain backlash inherent to traditional timing chain sets, and the idler thrust bearing is a critical component in sustaining that precision. Replacing a worn or damaged idler thrust bearing restores proper gear mesh and ensures long-term durability of the entire gear drive system.
