This part basically takes the up – and – down motion of the piston inside your engine and turns it into a circular motion that eventually spins your crankshaft. It's a pretty simple idea, but it's absolutely vital. It’s a strong, forged steel piece, usually, and it has a small end that attaches to the piston and a larger end that connects to the crankshaft journal. It has to withstand a lot of force, a lot of stress. It’s a fundamental part of the engine's internal combustion process. Without these working right, the engine simply won’t run. It’s down inside the engine, so you won’t see it, but everything the engine does relies on these being solid. It’s part of what ultimately gets power to the wheels. Well, this is a big deal. These rods are under tremendous pressure with every single engine cycle – think about thousands of explosions per minute. If one bends or breaks, it’s catastrophic. It can knock a hole in the engine block, cause major internal damage, and leave you stranded. You’ll notice if one goes bad – usually a very loud knocking sound, significant loss of power, and often an engine warning light. They’re designed to be super durable, but they do wear out or can be damaged over time. If you’re rebuilding an engine, replacing these is almost always a good idea, even if the old ones look fine. You can find quality connecting rods, and a good variety, at places like Fixparts Online. It's a part you really don't want to cheap out on.
