A hybrid module includes a rotor carrier, a torque converter, and a thrust bushing. The rotor carrier includes an axially extending portion and a radially extending portion extending radially inward from the axially extending portion. The torque converter includes an impeller having an impeller shell fixed to the rotor carrier and an impeller hub fixed to the impeller shell. The impeller hub extends in an axial direction away from the radially extending portion of the rotor carrier to a distal end. The thrust bushing is connected to the impeller hub. The thrust bushing includes an axial portion in contact with the impeller hub and a radial portion extending radially outward from the axial portion. The radial portion is in contact with the distal end.
