I am planning to install a hardened thrust washer from Scott Helms. I have two other new thrust washers from two sources and need to know if one is better than the other. (it will be installed on the non-load side). One is from the Roadster Factory and is marked "CTW 2171, it has a copper looking finish on the pressure side. The other has a "G" inside a square box followed by S2021S. It doesn't appear to have any coating. Does anyone know if either one is better than the other. Thanks, David K.

I've heard you should never use Glacier Bearings or, especially, thrust washers. What complicates things is they bought Vandervell and sell bearings in a Vandevell box. Definitely not VP II. I think they both owned by Federal Mogul, which IIRC is in bankruptcy. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I’m in process of installing thrust washer that I bought from Scott Helms.
I think they are the best solution for the thrust washer problem. Will know more after installation is completed.
