Per ACL's own fitment data it's used in the Subaru Impreza (including WRX), Legacy, Outback, and Forester, as well as the Saab 9-2X. Main bearings support the crankshaft in the engine block and are matched with rod bearings to control bottom-end clearances; the thrust position controls crankshaft end-play.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Main Bearing Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries: High Performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: Standard (fits stock, non-machined main journal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThrust Position: #3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine Fitment: Subaru EJ20\/EJ22\/EJ25\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart Number: 5M8297H-STD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch5\u003eWhat does \"For Thrust in #3 Position\" mean?\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eSubaru EJ-series blocks were built with the thrust bearing surface at different main positions depending on the engine\/model year.
