Your Nissan engine generates force when it runs, and that force pushes the pistons up and down. In order to make that piston movement translate into a rotary force for your wheels (and forward motion for your vehicle), your engine’s crankshaft needs to connect to each piston. That translation point is where the engine connecting rod is vital.
On one end of the connecting rod, you'll find the Engine Connecting Rod Bearing. Your Nissan Engine Connecting Rod Bearing is a small circular piece that reduces friction and helps facilitate smooth, rotary motion for your engine's connecting rods at their insertion points on the crankshaft. Your Engine Connecting Rod Bearing is only one tiny part of the crankshaft assembly, but it's important for your engine's efficiency.
Because your engine's connecting rods perform repetitive turning motions, a faulty or worn Engine Connecting Rod Bearing might lead to long-term cylinder damage or diminished engine efficiency. At worst, a failing rod bearing can cause breakage in your connecting rod and extensive damage to the entire crankshaft system (which is, unfortunately, an irreparable engine issue).
Putting in a new Engine Connecting Rod Bearing, part 121111N501, requires specific know-how and skills, as well as disassembly of the engine. As such, you should get help from the service technicians at your local Nissan dealer or authorized service site for the task.
When your Nissan engine needs repairs, high-quality engine parts are a must-have. When you shop Nissan Parts directly, you'll get tailor-made replicas of your Nissan’s original parts. Purchase with confidence when you go straight to the source—Nissan— for OEM parts and a one-of-a-kind 12,000-mile/12-month limited warranty.
