Connecting rod

A connecting rod, also known as a con-rod, is a vital component in an internal combustion engine. Its primary function is to transmit the force generated by the piston's movement to the crankshaft, thereby converting the linear motion of the pistons into rotational motion for the vehicle's wheels or other machinery. The connecting rod is usually made from materials like steel and aluminum, ensuring durability and resistance to wear and tear.
