Piston Wrist Pin Bushing
Piston wrist pin bushings are small cylindrical components that play an essential role in the functioning of internal combustion engines. These bushings serve as a connection point between the piston and the connecting rod, allowing the piston to move up and down in the cylinder while transmitting the force generated by the combustion process to the crankshaft. The wrist pin bushing is made of a high-strength material such as bronze, and it is inserted into a hole in the piston, which is then mounted onto the connecting rod. The wrist pin itself fits snugly through the bushing and into the connecting rod, allowing the piston to pivot as it moves up and down. The design of the wrist pin bushing helps to reduce friction and wear on the piston and connecting rod, ensuring smooth engine operation and longevity. Engine piston wrist pin bushings are critical components that enable the piston to move effectively, converting the energy produced by the combustion process into rotational motion that drives the vehicle.

When choosing a piston wrist pin bushing, measurements need to be confirmed for proper installation and use. These include the wrist pin outside diameter, the outside diameter needed of the wrist pin bushing, and the overall length of the bushing. From the remaining compatible options, choose the bushings that match your application needs as well as your budget.
