ACL Rod Bearing Duraglide 0.75mm Oversized Set 52mm Journal Bearing WRX 2002-2014 / STI 2004-2021 Subaru Turbo Models | 4B8296A-.75

When you're replacing rods and pistons in your Subaru engine, it's smart to swap out the rod bearings too. Main bearings are key to supporting the engine and preventing oscillations and wear. If the engine gets out of balance, it can harm the crankshaft and other parts. ACL's rod bearings are built tough. Their durable design helps prevent fatigue and failure, and it also reduces stress on the drivetrain. Subaru rod bearings come in 48mm or 52mm journal sizes. Journal size isn't based on VIN or year, so you need to measure it before buying. Remember, engine internals can't be exchanged or returned, so make sure you pick the right bearings. These bearings fit Subaru EJ20, EJ22, and EJ25 engines.

Using these ACL rod bearings is simple. First, when you're working on your Subaru engine and replacing rods and pistons, take out the old rod bearings and put these new ones in. Make sure to measure the journal size accurately before you buy. It's not determined by the VIN or the year of your car. Once installed, the bearings will provide good support to the engine and reduce stress on the drivetrain. As for maintenance, keep an eye on your engine's performance. If you notice any strange noises or vibrations, it could be a sign that the bearings need checking. Also, follow the regular engine maintenance schedule recommended by Subaru. Just remember, engine internals like these bearings can't be returned or exchanged, so double - check your measurements before you purchase.
