You have to remember, this is without oil pressure being applied and that would balance the turbo's action as it floats the bearing in oil, this is how it should be as shown and anything excessive obviously has some damage and wear and the fins would strike the side and disintergrate, also a seepage of oil into the turbo housing would be noticeable.

So you clearly didn't watch the full video 😢

Subtle flex of having a HUGE pile of turbos in the background reinforces the knowledge presented. Thanks for this! There are many videos of journal bearing shaft play. This is the first ive found showcasing ball bearing play. I picked up a used GTX2971 and with about 30k miles on it, it has exactly the same play shown here.

Thank you for letting people in the correct direction 👍🏼👍🏼 like all the comments . To many people replacing turbo that are ok 👌🏼

Thanks so much I buy a gt35r82 turbo and has the same play and I was scare before watching your video. Now I’m calm . Thanks a lot for the info

Thanks man I bought a new turbo for my car and it was not cheap and I almost shit when I checked the play. I, like most I was reading was under the assumption that it needed 0 shaft play

thanks mayne! bought a used td04 for my 95 aero... had what you just showed and i was worried i got jipped. struck a killer deal for 100 buckaroos... will sustain me until i mod for a holset turbo... again, thanks!!

Glad I see this video rebuilding my mx5 turbo recived a new hybrid tdo4 19t and it had same amount of play thought it was fucked. This message comes all the way from london England 😉

The gap is to allow oil to flow around shaft & baring Once oil is in the play is gone. But the turbo should spin very well

I just got a brand new Holset HE221W and noticed a lot of shaft play... I was like what the hell, are you kidding??? Now I know it is normal... Thanks

U helped me out thanks

Thank jou i just bought a turbo and i was scared but i guess its all good thanks allot

Great pointers , would you please point me in the correct direction to adjust the actuator arm on a 04. Dodge 2500 5.9l third gen. Thanks

Great help thanks man

Thanks. You just saved me £500+ from a dodgy garage.

Your the man thank you💯

Turbo's have ball bearing's that are lubricated by engine oil PRESSURE. This pressure center's both bearings and the oil is drained back by the lower drain tube. I just replace the "center rotating assembly" as if both intake and exhaust housing are not damaged they can be reused BUT be sure to make center punch marking everywhere for reassembly. (clocking all 3 parts) If when checking the old turbo you see scratch marks on the inside of the housings, the the bearing ARE worn out and need replacing.

Not all turbos have ball bearings

Ya I was worried on my ebay turbo, but 6000k fins still haven't touched

Those are ball bearing turbos correct? Ball bearings always have more play like you're showing than roller bearing turbos. That level of play on a roller bearing turbo would typically indicate wear and potential failure soon.

Is this a ball bearing or journal bearing?

Does the impeller get a little harder to turn when you push it all the way to the side and try to turn it? Like when you said "if I push it, the fins almost touch the side" is the turbo harder to turn at that point? I have a whistling noise I'm trying to find and can't decide if it's my turbo or my exhaust Manifold broken bolt

I once had a whistling noise from my turbo. Happend every time I got on boost. Compressor wheel had a tiny bit missing from one blade.

So this turbo play is normal on a turbo? Thanks for the advice.. i thought my turbo is broken

hows the turbo when it got installed

Thanks Bud.

OMG thank you

Can you push it a little bit what with pull it ??? have some play also??

mine is loose when cold heaps movement but after driving its alot tighter

I'm new to the diesel world and recently bought a 2006 Duramax 3500 with 87000 mile on it. It has this grinding or growling sound as it spools down from 2000 rpm. So I just checked the shaft and it has the same amount of play so I guess I'm ok there. It runs great with lots of power from the turbo. Any idea what the grinding noise might be or is it normal?

Can you hear the grinding noise change pitch as the turbo whistle changes pitch? If not, its entirely unrelated to the turbo, and I'd venture a guess it's likely worn out pinion bearings allowing the pinion shaft to back away from the ring gear causing a howl because helical cut gears will pull the pinion towards the ring gear normalizing the backlash and "preload" for lack of better term, and reverse loaded push the pinion away allowing the gears to mesh funny making a grinding or howling/growling sound. Or if you have a stick, it could be pretty much basically the same thing as pinion, only play in a main or counter shaft allowing the gears to walk when you let off. Can you give us more detail on where it's coming from, more specifically what conditions it does it under (in gear only, in neutral, different RPM ranges..etc)?

I never thought about it, but it could also be the VGT system, being an 06 which should be a LLY. Could be carbon buildup on the unison ring causing the veins on the VGT to not close, and dropping off the throttle and boost with such low tolerances with the veins fully open, that little bit of shaft play could cause the turbine wheel to contact the weins. It's a spitball guess at best until we have more info on exactly the situation. If you could upload a video and direct us to your channel, that'd be about the best info you could give us.

I have this sound also on my vw lt35 2.5tdi k14 turbo charger. It can be heard sometimes also at acceleration. It get worser. I think it's time to replace turbo?

mine doesn't move up or down and it brand new but it's also Chinese

Mine is the opposite...didn't have play until I put in my truck and has side play in it now after first start and its brand new Borg warner turbo...and I pre-lubed the turbo with little oil before starting it ...do u think I damaged my turbo?

Mine is the same bw and its also play -what did you do in the end?

so a bit play in and out is ok?

I have a 2014 wrx with 85k miles and has a loud tick. I noticed while i was at a drive thru. Tried looking for air leaks, but couldnt find shit. As i attempted to listen where the sound was coming from, It sounded closer to the left and right side of the engine. Any suggestions?

Sounds like valve noise. The ej255 lash specification is .007 to .009 on the intake valves and .009 to .011 on the exhaust valves. What you are hearing is most likely the cam striking the buckets on the exhaust valves due to their larger clearance. Better to be on the looser (louder) side than the tighter (quieter) side.

oil and heat will stop that.

My diesel has 180k miles on it and has less shaft play than that, still get a whistle. Boost leak?

Journal or ball bearing?

both journal and ball bearing have about the same radial play. a ball bearing will have more thrust (in and out) play. this turbo in the video is ball bearing. you wouldnt here a in and out click on a journal bearing turbo.

+jerry dombroski thanks, I just fitted a garrett gt1749vb. It had more play than the old one. The old one was stiff and not smooth though. Reconditioned gt1749vb is running beautifully atm, no siren noise and seems to run cooler too. :)

This turbo is not correct. You must not move it axially with your hand or radially.

why am i watching this

Check out my turbo at 270k miles. From what i’m pickup up, it’s still good? kzread.info/dash/bejne/aWiut6yvYs_KerQ.htmlsi=18DVdcA2fRZPgyo_

your shaft is spinning like crap and your turbo has more movement than myn I'd get it checked out
