Maintain smooth engine operation and protect your engine's bottom end with this Genuine Nissan Big End Bearing, designed to suit Nissan Patrol GU Y61 models fitted with ZD30 and TD42Ti diesel engines, as well as Nissan Navara D22 ZD30 models. This OEM connecting rod bearing is fitted between the connecting rod and crankshaft journal, providing a low-friction bearing surface while maintaining correct oil clearance and engine lubrication.

Over time, big end bearings naturally wear due to engine load, high mileage and oil contamination. Excessive bearing wear can lead to reduced oil pressure, engine knocking and, if left unattended, severe crankshaft or connecting rod damage. Replacing worn bearings with Genuine Nissan components during an engine rebuild or preventative maintenance helps restore factory oil clearances, maintain reliable lubrication and maximise engine longevity.
