Information
How do bearings work?
Made from an alloy, bearings are used in engines to support and protect rotating parts and allow them to turn freely. Manufacturers specify the amount of clearance between the bearings and the crankshaft for the correct amount of oil pressure and flow.
How do I know if the bearings are bad?
If the right amount of clearance doesn’t exist between the bearings and the crankshaft, it can cause excess wear and tear to the bearings and/or the engine and can even cause the engine to seize.
What are my options?
Vehicles can be taken to a local dealer or repair shop. An owner can perform the repair, but would need to be skilled in working with engines and may also need special equipment. There are numerous automotive websites that advertise repair services, and others sell bearings and bearing kits.
