Con rods are used not ony in car engines, but in just about all piston engines. They're needed to turn the reciprocating(back-forth) motion of the piston into the rotary motion of the crankshaft. That rotation is then - via the gearbox, prop shaft etc what propels the car forward.

What is a connecting rod in a car?
A connecting rod in a car is a crucial component of the engine that links the piston to the crankshaft. It converts the linear motion of the piston, caused by combustion, into rotational motion for the crankshaft, which ultimately drives the vehicle's wheels. Made from durable materials to withstand high stress and heat, connecting rods are essential for the engine's efficiency and performance. Proper functioning of the connecting rod is vital for the overall operation of the internal combustion engine.
1999 Grand Am 3400 SFI what is the rod layout?
There are several rods on a 1999 Pontiac Grand Am. The connecting rods are connected to the pistons and found in the engine. Tie Rods are connected to the steering rack under the car. The radius rod is also found under the chassis and supports the majority of the cars vibrations.?æ

In the engine case. They are attached to piston rods and go up and down.
What are the basic parts used in a car engine?
The block, the main body of the engine. Crankshaft, on the bottom half of the engine, pistons and connecting rods that connect the pistons to the crankshaft. The head or heads depending on the type of engine. These bolt on top of the block over the pistons. Intake manifold where the carb. or injectors are located. Camshaft that opens the valves in the head. In older engines the camshaft is in the block above the crankshaft. Newer engines the camshaft is on the head or heads.
What kind of materials are used to build a car engine that can handle very high hp?
What part of the engine? The block can be made out of aluminum and it would be strong enough for even the highest of HP engines, as long as it is designed correctly. Connecting rods can be made out of aluminum, steel, or titanium. Carbon fiber can be used but generally high cost prohibits the uses of it. Aluminum connecting rods will fatigue after time and will need to be replaced. Steel or titanium are prefered for most motors. Pistons are aluminum. JE pistons make good forged as well as billet racing pistons. The crank is usually made out of a good grade steel such as 4140 steel. I hope this helps
How do you replace push rods 1998 chev s10 4cyl 2.2?
The push rods are a very important components of the car engine. If they are not working properly, your car will not drive. Some cases it is not safe to operate.

Is it normal for a car to make a knocking sound from the engine when idling?
No. It is not normal at all. Go to a mechanic and get their opinion. Engine knocks usually signify severe damage, and driving with it will cause even more damage. Always check your oil as well. Make sure it is clean and topped off. knocking can also sometimes mean you have the wrong octane but most of the time it means your tie rods or connecting rods are worn A knock at idle however can only be bearings, it would be beneficial to get things looked at right away,
