About Rod Endss

The con rod is a rigid rod structure in the car engine which connects the crankshaft to the piston. The movement of the piston makes the crankshaft turn. The connecting rod plays an important role in working to provide drive from the piston to the crankshaft where this power is changed into the rotational force required to make the wheels of the car move. Connecting rods have a 'big end' and a 'small end' and are usually manufactured from steel, titanium or aluminium alloys.  

The big end of the connecting rod attaches to the crankshaft and the rotational movement of these two connected parts is aided by the big end bearing. The big end bearing has a supportive role and functions to allow the rotating movement of the crankshaft and the crank rod journals/crank pins while decreasing the amount of friction produced between the linked moving parts. The big end bearing coils around the crankshaft secures the crankshaft in position while enabling the rotating mechanism of the crankshaft. It is bolted to the connecting rod at the big end with the smaller end of the connecting rod attached to the piston with a bearing enabling rotation on this end also. The small end of the connecting rod can have either a solid or a split eye. Rod ends are vehicle specific meaning the SEAT rod ends will provide you with a part that's compatible with the make and model of your vehicle.

Essentially the connecting rod with the big end bearing and small end bearing/connecting bush allows power from the piston to be transmitted to the crankshaft.  

Working under continued pressure transferring the load exerted by the piston the connecting rod can crack, break or bend and can come loose from the piston or crankshaft. This can happen when the big end or small end bearing wears and detaches from the con rod causing the con rod to disengage from the crankshaft and piston in engine failure. The connecting rod can also suffer from rust and collision damage. A speedy replacement of the SEAT rod ends when they fail is recommended to avoid further associated damage to other components. When replacing this part, the SEAT rod ends will ensure you get a part that's specifically designed for the make and model of your vehicle, providing perfect compatibility.

SEAT trivia

• The SEAT Ibiza was designed by the same man who designed the Mark 1 VW Golf, the Lotus Esprit, and the DeLorean DMC-12. Giorgetto Giugiaro is well worth a Google.
• 2019 was the best year of sales for SEAT when it sold an impressive 574,100 cars.
• The SEAT factory in Martorell is powered by solar panels and is expected to produce as much as 13 million kWh of electricity every year.
• There are four generations of the SEAT Ibiza, and it’s SEAT’s most successful model. It’s sold 5.4 million, has won the Car of the Year Award and is a three-time winner of the Supermini of the Year.
• SEAT is an acronym that is much, much easier to say than Sociedad Española de Automóviles de Turismo.
