As your Nissan’s engine generates power, that power moves internal pistons up and down. In order for that piston power to convert into a rotary force for your wheels (and forward motion for your vehicle), the engine crankshaft needs to connect to each piston. That translation point is where an engine connecting rod is key.
At one end of the rod sits the Engine Connecting Rod Bearing. The Engine Connecting Rod Bearing is a small circular piece that cuts down on friction and encourages seamless motion for your connecting rods at the point where they insert on the crankshaft. The Engine Connecting Rod Bearing is one of many components of the crankshaft assembly, but it's important for your engine's efficiency.
Because the connecting rods in your Nissan perform the same motions over and over, a damaged Engine Connecting Rod Bearing might lead to excess wear and tear or decreased engine performance. At worst, a cracked, damaged, or warped rod bearing can cause your rod to snap, causing extensive damage to the entire crankshaft system (which is, most often, not fixable at all).
Replacing your Nissan Engine Connecting Rod Bearing, part 12111EA200, requires specific know-how and skills, as well as significant labor. Therefore, you should get help from the service technicians at your nearest Nissan authorized service provider for the job.
