• Noises like banging or clunking coming from the agitator area
• Shaking or vibrating of the washer tub during spinning 

Causes of a bad thrust washer include normal wear and tear after extended use. Exposure to extended periods of unbalanced loads can also put excessive strain on the washer components and lead to premature failure of the thrust washer seal.
