A unit includes a thrust washer having a first abutment and a second abutment. The thrust washer is configured to be moved, by rotation, between a first position in which the thrust washer abuts the first abutment and a second position in which the thrust washer abuts the second abutment. The first abutment and the second abutment are formed by at least one pin and at least one recess. The pin is configured to engage in the recesses, and the recess is designed as a groove that extends tangentially around an axis of rotation of a component that is rotatably mounted by way of the thrust washer.
