GM Genuine Parts 12591093 Engine Connecting Rod Bearing Set — for Select GM Models

Engine knocking, reduced oil pressure, or metal debris in the oil pan — these are common signs that your connecting rod bearings are worn and need replacement. The connecting rod bearings support the rotating motion of the crankshaft within the connecting rod, transmitting the cycling loads from the pistons. Worn bearings can cause severe engine damage if not addressed. Replacing them with this genuine GM part restores proper clearance and protects your engine.

This is a factory-original GM engine connecting rod bearing set (OE part number 12591093). It is a standard-size set that includes upper and lower bearings for four rods (8 pieces total). The bearings are made from high-quality steel and are designed, engineered, and tested to rigorous standards, backed by General Motors. This is the same part sold at GM dealerships.
