Zusammenfassung:A wastegate assembly for a turbocharger includes a valve element. The valve element has a valve body, a first shaft extending away from the valve body along a first axis, and a second valve shaft spaced from the first valve shaft and extending away from the valve body along a second axis. The valve element is movable between a first and a second position to control exhaust gas flow to a turbine housing interior of the turbocharger. The wastegate assembly also includes a valve arm coupled to the first and second valve shafts for moving the valve element between the first and second positions. The wastegate assembly further includes a washer coupled to at least one of the first and second valve shafts and axially spaced from the valve arm with respect to the first and second axes.
