Thanks for the great video. I just tore into my e99 7.3 Powerstroke and started panicking when I noticed the side-to-side shaft play. Your explanation has helped to put my mind at ease.
Awesome video, thank you, my heart sank when i just bought a used turbo to realize it had this side to side movement, but iam glad that its normal 😁

very helpful video🙌
Thanks answered my question
Very good explanation of this issue Charlie, Does the play decrease even more once the engine is up to normal operating temperature, and all the different metals expand due to heat ?
Colder will feel tighter. Hotter will feel looser.
If it is hot and sitting for a while then there will be even more play
If you clean them out with brake cleaner then it has a fine of play
Thanks for your video. I have a 2004 Volvo that I suspect it had a bad turbo. I just removed it from the car. I have some side to side play, but I don't know if it's too much. I heard you mentioned that the fan blades will not touch the side. Mine has enough side to side that I can make the blades touch the side of the housing. Would that mean it was out of tolerance.
If it’s actually rubbing the housing then that indicates bearing damage. Probably a good idea to get it rebuilt
So my turbo (DBB) , fairly new , has zero shaft play… but if i JUST shut the car off i get play. It makes sense in my head but maybe im wrong. Is that normal?
Does anyone know if the IHI VF44 is a journal bearing turbo? I’ve got ever so slight side to side play and the guy I got it from says it’s journal bearing but it only has play if I wiggle it from the compressor side. If I wiggle the turbine it’s nonexistent
That’s normal. It’s a journal bearing.
It is indeed a Journal bearing turbo. Sounds like your findings are perfectly normal.
Is it bad when you spin the wheel by hand and it gets tight at certain spots😂
Yes. It should free spin. It sounds like your turbos bearings are probably on their way out.
@KCTURBOS thanks for the reply. I was being sarcastic. I actually just put new turbo in this weekend. Loading new tunes tonight. Thanks
