Product Information
An Engine Connecting Rod Bearing is a precision bearing located between the connecting rod and the crankshaft journal in an internal combustion engine. Its role is to allow smooth rotation of the crankshaft while reducing friction and wear. These bearings are typically made from layers of soft metals (like copper, lead, or aluminum alloys) that can withstand high loads while still being sacrificial (wearing out before the crankshaft does).
Engine Connecting Rod Bearing Failure Symptoms- Knocking or tapping noise ("rod knock") – deep metallic knocking from the engine, especially under load or acceleration.
- Low oil pressure – worn bearings create excess clearance, reducing oil pressure.
- Metal shavings in oil – bearing material may flake off and appear in the oil or on the drain plug.
About Genuine Mini
The original parts used by Mini to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Mini” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Mini, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Mini Dealership network.
You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Mini are not necessarily manufactured by Mini.

In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Mini parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Mini logo.
