The connecting rod in a car acts as a bridge between the piston and the crankshaft. And if you find that there is any disturbance, then it might be due to a bent rod. This may lead to knocking sound from the engine. Avoid low engine oil and reduced oil pressure for maintaining a good connecting rod. See the slideshow to know the reason behind the connecting rod failure in your car.

1. Reason Behind the
Connecting Rod Failure in
your Car

2. The internal combustion
engine has a connecting rod
which is responsible for
connecting the piston and
crankshaft together.

3. The connecting rod of the
car generally assists the
piston in its downward and
upward movements.

4. The turning motion of the
crankshaft can turn the
connecting rod and allow
the piston to move up and
down.

5. It needs to be strong and
durable for the engine. If it
is unable to handle the load
of the combustion, then the
pressure will wear and bend
it.

6. The following points define
the basic reasons behind the
connecting rod failure issues
in your car.

7. Bent rod

8. If you notice that the
connecting rod of the car is
bent or damaged, then you
need to inspect the rod
yourself.

9. The damaged or bent
connecting rod will make
the engine to be
disassembled that can only
be fixed by a mechanic.

10. Engine
Knocking

11. When the engine is turned
on and running, you may
hear the knocking sound
coming from the engine.

12. The sound can be repeated
as faster as your engine
speed increases. If you
neglect the noise, it may
damage the connecting rod.

13. Low Engine
Oil

14. If you found that the
connecting rod of your car is
failing or damaged, then
your car engine may
consume too much oil.

15. Due to these reasons, you
will notice that your engine
always has a low level of oil
and need to be changed
more often than usual.

16. Reduced Oil
Pressure

17. The failed connecting rod of
the car can put a
devastating effect on the
engine's oil pressure and
comes on the warning light.

18. If your car has low oil
pressure, then make sure
that the oil cannot circulate
properly through the engine
and lead to engine
overheating.

19. Conclusion

20. When you notice that the
connecting rod of your car is
damaged, then it’s always
advisable to inspect it by a
professional mechanic.

21. Your mechanic will
definitely inspect the
damaged connecting rod of
the car and replace the rod
if necessary.
