This part takes the up – and – down motion of the piston inside your engine and turns it into the circular motion that ultimately spins your wheels. It's a pretty crucial piece for that whole process. Think of it like your leg – your thigh muscle pushes up and down, but your knee joint converts that into the rotation that lets you walk or pedal a bike. That’s what the connecting rod is doing inside your engine, just with a lot more force and heat. It’s part of the engine’s bottom end, connecting the piston to the crankshaft. Basically, when fuel ignites and pushes the piston down, the connecting rod takes that force and relays it to the crankshaft, which is what actually provides the power. It works with the piston rings and cylinder walls to efficiently transfer power. Well, if this thing fails, your engine stops. Plain and simple. It’s under a lot of stress with every explosion inside the engine. It acts like a shield, protecting more expensive parts from the full impact of combustion. You’ll notice if one goes bad, it’ll be a pretty serious knocking sound coming from the engine, and it will quickly lead to major damage if you keep driving on it. It's not something you want to put off fixing. You can find these, and a lot of other engine parts, over at Fixparts Online if you’re looking to tackle the repair yourself. But honestly, if you're not comfortable working on an engine, it’s best left to a professional. Reliable engineering: Connecting Rod (MPN 8P3827521A) includes a 12-month warranty!
