Engine bearings are critical components within the engine's crankshaft assembly, enabling smooth and efficient rotation and minimizing friction between the crankshaft and connecting rods. These MAHLE bearings, with MPN 209AS21556000, are used in internal combustion engines to reduce wear and tear and prevent metal-to-metal contact. They are manufactured in Slovakia and boast exceptional durability and precision engineering, contributing to extended engine life and optimized performance. The dimensions of these bearings are 166 x 44 x 88 mm. These bearings are essentially these little metal sleeves or shells that sit between the moving parts inside your engine – specifically between the crankshaft and the connecting rods, and sometimes the main journals of the crankshaft itself. They allow those parts to spin smoothly against each other. They don’t just let them spin, they really facilitate it. They’re designed to handle a huge amount of pressure and friction. Think of it like this: your engine is making explosions that push pistons up and down, and that motion needs to get turned into the spinning of your wheels. Those bearings are absolutely critical in translating that up – and – down motion into smooth rotational power. They're at the heart of how your engine actually works. Without them, things would bind up quickly and catastrophically. They’re part of the bottom end of the engine, the part that really takes the pounding. They’re important because they prevent metal – on – metal contact. Imagine running your hand against sandpaper constantly – that’s what’s happening inside your engine without bearings. Bearings act like a shield, keeping those surfaces separated and lubricated with oil. If a bearing starts to wear out, you'll notice if your oil pressure drops, or you might hear a knocking sound coming from the engine. It’s usually a pretty serious issue if one goes bad, since it can lead to major engine damage. Replacing them is a big job, but it's a lot cheaper than replacing an entire engine. You can find a good selection of engine bearings, and a lot of other parts, at places like Fixparts Online, if you want to take a look. It's definitely something to address promptly if you suspect there's a problem with one. Support that lasts: Engine Bearings (MPN 209AS21556000) includes a 12-month warranty!
