Abstract
Two thrust washers, and rollers positioned between them, are held together as an assembly. One of the thrust washers has an elongated lip extending an axial length outwardly, in a direction away from the rollers and the other thrust washer, for engagement with a cylindrical piloting surface of a backup member such that piloting will be provided over an axial distance equal to the sum of the distance between thrust surfaces of the thrust washers and the axial length of the elongated lip.
