The first sign that your engine has thrown a rod is a knocking sound that comes from the engine when it runs. if you pay close attention, you will notice that the knocking sound is rhythmic and increases or decreases in accordance with the engine's revolution per minute (RPM).
A bad Tie rod usuallydoesn't SOUND like anything, but some good indicators that you have a bad tie rod are incorrect alignment, and uneven tire wear on your front tires.
If you have a thrown rod, you will have a loud rhythmic banging noise that changes frequency with the engine RPM speed. The sound will be quite like the sound when banging two hammers together. You will also have extremely low or no oil pressure.If the engine is not stopped immediately, the problem can quickly progress to the point where the piston rod can break and leave the engine. The is the final definition of a "thrown rod"; your engine was tired of it sitting on the couch all day and threw it out with the trash ... along with other misc. parts (pistion, side of block, oil pan, etc.).A thrown rod is a serious condition that, if the car is not shutdown quickly, can lead to a dangerous situation on the road. Remember all that oil in your engine (4+ quarts)? If the engine throws the rod, it will dump it all over the road leaving a very slick streak to where your car comes to a stop. One gallon of oil can spread to cover an incredible amount of tarmac.
it is a connecting rod that has seized on the crank / broke and went thru the block
If that really is what happened - no.
strike or bloop
It sounds like you've thrown a rod.
You don't really throw a tie rod, it is part of the steering and you would have no control over steering or one wheel will become uncontrollable. Undriveable is what it is.
If it is a connecting rod or bearing--be prepared to put in a new motor
In the word "rod," the vowel "o" makes a short vowel sound. The short sound of "o" is usually heard as "ah" in this case.
The sound of a stone hitting the water sounds like PLOP. Be sure to check out The Rapping Buddha on YouTube.
