Shaton or in other words (Connecting Rod) is one of the vital components of the engine, the connection between the crankshaft and the piston is created by it. The bigger head is connected to the crankshaft and the smaller head is connected to the piston, this part must be made of steel to have enough strength and strength against the shocks that are transferred from the piston to it and then to the crankshaft.
The three main parts of the connecting rod:
- ,
-
Larger head (bearing)
-
Body
-
Smaller head (bearing)
,
,
The smaller head is connected to the piston by means of a piece called a pin, and the piston strikes the smaller head in the first stage. These shocks are transferred through the body to the larger head and are finally transferred to the crankshaft. In most cases, the smaller bearing is made in one piece and the larger bearing is designed in two parts and is not connected to the crankshaft using bolts and nuts. In some cars, both heads are designed as one piece, and for this reason, the crankshaft is made in a modular way to separate or install it.
The connecting rods of Etihad Golden Asia Company are produced with the highest quality and efficiency using the best type of alloy that has the necessary strength and strength against piston blows.
Symptoms of connecting rod failure:
The failure of this part causes serious damage, therefore it is necessary for car owners to know the signs of its failure.
- ,
-
Abnormal engine noise: One of the signs of failure of this part is abnormal engine noises. The percentage of brokenness also increases.
-
Rattling sound: To prevent friction between parts and damage, the moving parts in the car must be lubricated. Connecting rods are placed in the group of moving parts of the car, and in case of lack of lubrication, noises like rattling can be heard from the engine.
-
Oil spilling: Another sign of failure of this part is the spilling of engine oil.
-
Throwing of metal parts: in very rare cases of failure of this part, some metal parts used in the car engine are thrown out.

Reasons of connecting rod failure:
- ,
-
Improper adjustment: if its connections to the piston and crank are not done correctly, it is sure to be defective
-
Strong piston shocks: If the shocks from the piston are more than normal, it is possible to break this part. Premature or abnormal combustion in the cylinder is the cause of these strong impacts.
-
There is a problem in the lubrication system: as mentioned above; Lubrication of moving parts is very important in working cars. If the lubrication is disturbed or not correctly, the percentage of failure will increase greatly.
-
Reverse gear at high speed: the mistake of reverse gear at high speeds is harmful to the car, it can cause damage to this part.
-
Severe accidents: severe accidents, especially frontal accidents, can cause this part to break and fail.
-
Low quality: low quality and poor alloy will cause it to break or fail.
