1.10703 DT Connecting rod

Basically, a connecting rod takes the up – and – down motion of the piston inside your engine and turns it into the spinning motion that actually powers your wheels. It's a pretty simple part mechanically, but it does a crucial job. It connects the piston to the crankshaft – think of it like your knee connecting your leg to your body, allowing movement. It has a small end that fits into the piston, and a big end that wraps around the crankshaft journal. It has to be incredibly strong because it's under a lot of stress. It’s fundamental to how your engine works. Without connecting rods functioning correctly, the engine simply won’t run. It’s part of the internal combustion process – that whole explosion turning into power. Each cylinder in your engine has its own piston and connecting rod working together. Honestly, this is a part you really don’t want to fail. If a connecting rod goes bad, it can cause catastrophic engine damage – usually meaning a hole in the engine block. You’ll notice if one goes bad pretty quickly – a really loud knocking sound, loss of power, engine not running smoothly. It’s a high – stress component, and while they’re made tough, they do wear out or can be damaged by things like oil starvation or detonation. You can find quality replacements at places like Fixparts Online, and it’s always best to replace them in pairs – if one has failed, the others are likely fatigued as well. Simple and reliable: Connecting rod (MPN 1.10703) has a 12-month warranty!
