The crankshaft's main job is to take the up – and – down motion of the pistons – that’s from when the engine burns fuel – and turn it into rotational motion. Think of it like your legs on a bicycle; the pistons are your legs pushing up and down, and the crankshaft is the pedals, turning that into something that spins. It has offset journals, those are the parts the connecting rods attach to, and those journals are what create that smooth rotational power. It also helps time things within the engine, coordinating the movements of different parts. It’s fundamental to how the engine works, and therefore to how your vehicle moves. That rotational motion from the crankshaft gets transferred through the transmission to the wheels, making the car go. It’s right at the heart of the power generation process. It’s connected to everything – the pistons, the connecting rods, the flywheel, the timing gears… pretty much everything that makes the engine go. Without a good crankshaft, the engine simply won’t run. If it’s damaged – bent, cracked, or worn – you'll notice if it's struggling to start, running rough, or losing power. A failing crankshaft can even cause a complete engine seizure. It’s a major component, and while they're generally pretty durable, things do wear out over time. Replacing one is a significant repair, but absolutely necessary to get you back on the road. We carry a good selection of these, and you can often find what you need quickly over at Fixparts Online. We also stock a lot of the associated parts, like main bearings, that you’ll likely need when doing this job. Reliable performance guaranteed: Crankshaft (MPN 7L6875699) has a 12-month warranty!
