BUSHING SET CON

Connecting Rod Bushing Set

This bushing set is a small but critical engine part that keeps the connecting rod and crankshaft working smoothly. It is needed when rebuilding the bottom end, fixing low oil pressure symptoms, or repairing knocking noises. A fresh bushing surface restores correct clearances, protects the crank journal, and helps the engine run quiet and efficient ⚙️.

How it works

The bushing acts as a precision sleeve inside the rod end. Engine oil forms a thin film between the bushing and the moving metal surfaces. This oil film carries load, reduces friction, and prevents direct metal-to-metal contact even under high RPM and heavy torque ?.

What happens if it’s worn or broken

If the bushing is damaged, clearance grows and oil pressure can drop around the journal. You may hear tapping/knocking, feel vibration, and see faster oil contamination. Continued driving can score the crank, overheat the rod end, and in worst cases lead to bearing seizure and major engine failure ?❗
