A thrust bearing likes other bearings, they permit rotation between parts, but they are designed to support a predominantly axial load.
Thrust bearings are used in cars because the forward gears in modern car gearboxes use helical gears which, while aiding in smoothness and noise reduction, cause axial forces that need to be dealt with.
