22081249 Volvo Trucks PUSH ROD

Push rods basically take the motion from the camshaft – that’s what opens and closes the valves in your engine – and transfers that up to the rocker arms. The rocker arms then actually push on the valves to get them moving. It’s a pretty direct mechanical connection. Think of it like a simple lever system, transferring power from one point to another. They’re long, slender metal rods, usually steel, and have hardened ends where they connect to those components. They’re a key part of your engine’s valve train, which is how air and fuel get into the cylinders and how exhaust gets out. Without properly functioning push rods, those valves won't open and close at the right time, or maybe not at all. That messes up the whole combustion process. They’re found in most older overhead valve engines, and some modern ones still use them. If a push rod bends or breaks, it’ll cause a really rough running engine, a misfire, or even prevent the engine from starting. You’ll notice if one goes bad, it’s not something that usually sneaks up on you. It’s not a part that’s generally serviced regularly unless you’re doing other engine work, like a valve job. A bent or broken push rod can cause serious damage to other valve train components if left alone, so it's important to address it promptly. You can find a good selection of them at places like Fixparts Online if you need to order one, just make sure you get the correct length and style for your particular engine.
