This Connecting Rod Bushing serves as a critical bearing surface within the connecting rod assembly, facilitating smooth articulation between the rod and the crankshaft. Produced to exacting standards, it provides a durable, low-friction interface compared to a worn bushing with enlarged clearance or scoring that can lead to rod knock. Operators may observe increased engine noise, particularly a knocking sound from the lower engine block, and potential oil pressure drops when this bushing fails.
Always verify with serial number before ordering.

Inspect mating surfaces for wear before fitting. Use torque specs from service manual. Replace gaskets and seals as a set — reusing compressed gaskets causes oil leaks. Clean all oil passages with compressed air.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
The initial symptom of a worn connecting rod bushing is an audible knocking or tapping sound originating from the lower part of the engine, which often becomes more pronounced under load. If left unaddressed, the excessive clearance will increase, leading to potential damage to the crankshaft journals and the connecting rod itself. Continued operation can result in severe internal engine damage and costly repairs.
Ensure the connecting rod and crankshaft journal surfaces are perfectly clean and free of any debris before installation. Pressing the bushing in crookedly will cause premature failure and potential engine damage.
Inspect the crankshaft journal for scoring or wear, and replace the connecting rod bolts when installing new connecting rod bushings.
