Final Drive Thrust Washer

Does it wear? Should it be replaced along with o-rings each tire change?

I've replaced it before. It was hard to tell the difference between
the old one and the new one. If it looks OK, it probably is OK, should
last way longer than a tire...

They get thin over time. They don’t need changing every time but every few years. I can tell just by holding a new one and old one when the old one is thin

Thanks guys, small price to pay. Will order a few.

Just order one unless you're concerned they won't be available in the future. They last a long time. Remember to grease them before installing.
