{"product_id":"crankshaft-sprocket-plate","title":"Crankshaft Sprocket Plate","description":"The Nissan 13022-0W000 is a genuine OEM crankshaft sprocket plate, specifically designed to function as a crankshaft thrust plate. Its primary role is to precisely control the axial movement of the crankshaft, thereby preventing it from shifting too far forward or backward within the engine. This vital component is situated behind the crankshaft sprocket and plays a critical part in maintaining engine health and preventing potential damage.\n\nOver time, exposure to heat, oil, and contaminants can lead to wear or damage of the crankshaft sprocket plate. Symptoms indicating a need for replacement include noticeable engine noise, such as knocking or rattling, which may intensify with increasing engine speed. Another key indicator is excessive crankshaft end play, where the crankshaft moves more than it should, potentially causing engine vibration, increased noise, and a reduction in overall performance. Close inspection of the plate itself for any signs of deformation, wear, or damage is also recommended.\n\nIt is generally advised to inspect the crankshaft sprocket plate during routine engine maintenance. If any of the aforementioned symptoms are present, or if the engine has experienced significant end play or crankshaft damage, replacing the plate is a recommended course of action. This part is a direct replacement and is guaranteed by Nissan's factory warranty, ensuring its quality and fit.\n\nThis specific crankshaft sprocket plate is designed for 1996-2002 Nissan Pathfinder models equipped with the VG33E engine. Always consult a diagram to verify the part's placement within your engine assembly.","brand":"Nissan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52663121346872,"sku":"13022-0W000","price":10.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687516232.jpg?v=1784324023","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/crankshaft-sprocket-plate","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
