A torque converter is provided. The torque converter includes a stator, a turbine, a bushing provided at an inner circumferential surface of the turbine and a thrust bearing provided axially between the turbine and the stator. The bushing contacts an inner circumferential surface of the thrust bearing for piloting the turbine bearing. A method of forming a torque converter is also provided. The method includes providing a bushing at an inner circumferential surface of a turbine; and providing a thrust bearing axially between the turbine and a stator such that the bushing contacts an inner circumferential surface of the thrust bearing to pilot the turbine bearing.
