ACL Rod Bearing Duraglide 0.25mm Oversized Set 52mm Journal Bearing WRX 2002-2014 / STI 2004-2021 Subaru Turbo Models | 4B8296A-.25

When you're working on your Subaru's rods and pistons, it's smart to replace the rod bearings too. Good support from main bearings is super important. It stops oscillations and wear that can mess up the crankshaft and other parts if the engine gets out of balance. ACL's rod bearings are made to last. Their tough design prevents fatigue and failure, and also cuts down on drivetrain stress. Remember, Subaru rod bearings come in 48mm or 52mm journal sizes. The journal size isn't based on the VIN or the year of the car. You've got to measure it before you buy. Make sure you pick the right bearings because engine internals can't be exchanged or returned. These bearings fit Subaru EJ20, EJ22, and EJ25 models.

Using these ACL rod bearings is straightforward. When you're replacing the rods and pistons in your Subaru, just swap out the old rod bearings with these new ones. Before you buy, measure the journal size of your engine to ensure you get the right fit (either 48mm or 52mm). Since engine internals can't be returned, double - check your measurement. As for maintenance, it's a good idea to regularly check the bearings for any signs of wear or damage during routine engine inspections. If you notice any issues like excessive play or strange noises, it might be time to replace the bearings again. And always follow your Subaru's regular maintenance schedule to keep the whole engine running smoothly.
