A connecting rod bearing is a small, curved metal shell that sits between the connecting rod and the crankshaft inside the engine. It provides a smooth, low-friction surface so the rod can move freely as the engine runs, which is vital for keeping oil flow steady and preventing metal-to-metal contact. By supporting these moving parts, the connecting rod bearing helps reduce wear, control heat, and protect the engine from damage.
This connecting rod bearing is a .001" undersize steel design built for upper and lower rod positions and is engineered for 5.2L (V8-318), 5.9L (V8-360), and 8.0L (V10-488) engines, making it an essential choice when rebuilding or repairing these motors. The USEP-2421306 connecting rod bearing fits Ram 1500, Ram 2500, Ram 3500, Durango, Dakota, and Ram Van models equipped with these engines, with eight bearings required for the V8 engines and ten bearings required for the V10 engine. Its durable steel construction offers a strong, reliable surface that helps maintain proper oil clearance and supports long engine life in both daily driving and work use.
