did you disassemble the engine to determine the rod condition?
some harmonic balancers will make a knocking sound when they go bad
It happened to me. I spun two crank bearing. I had to tear the engine apart and replace the crank and the bearings. Get somebody to check the outer tie rods. I had a car that did that. The noise will be less if you change lanes.
If you are referring to an internal combustion engine they are also called the 'big ends'. These are the bearings on the crankshaft and connecting rods, the bearings on the other end of the connecting rods are the 'small ends'.
I could be a bad wrist pin. They will sound just like a rod. Try letting it idle and pulling the plug wires one at a time. When you hit the one that has a problem the noise will go away or almost away. Then you can take that rod cap off and check it for a spun bearing.
If a car makes noise when turning the tie rod can be worn. Tie rods allow a vehicle to turn, when they fail the steering wheel will knock and rattle making all kinds of noises.
Low octane gasoline ignites at a lower temperature/compression than higher octane gasoline causing it to (depending on circumstances) ignite before the spark happens. This "preignition" or "detonation" causes excessively high cylinder pressure in the combustion chambers and at piston-to-connecting-rod near TDC and typically produces a knock noise which. The preignition or "spark knock" can also damage pistons, valves, connecting rods, and bearings. Repairs may require rebuild of the engine.
Usually worn out rod bearings. This can be caused by wear or repeated pinging. Usually, if there is knocking in the engine, you are not getting adequate oil to the engine. What is happening is that there is no oil to lubricate the rods and pistons as they are moving inside the head and so it is causing the knocking noise. If you have filled you oil and still hear the knocking, the main filter in the oil pan could be clogged. This happened to me. You do not want it to go on too long because you will blow your engine.

Check steering damper shock, tie rods, trac bar, wheel bearings, etc.Check steering damper shock, tie rods, trac bar, wheel bearings, etc.
Test volts to the pump. Shake wires and test again.Maybe a bad connection.
Wheel bearings are small metal rods or balls that are placed between the inside of a wheel and it's axle, in order to reduce friction.
If you are talking about the PISTON RODS then they will not make any noise. The engine will just wear the pistons and cylinder walls until you have a problem with oil comsupition. If the push rods or bent then you will have a engine miss and rocker arm noise in the valve covers/ clatting noise.
