What is the main function of connecting rod bearings?

Connecting rod bearings sit between the connecting rod and the crankshaft. Their main job is to reduce friction and wear by allowing the rod to rotate smoothly around the crank journal while maintaining a thin film of oil.

Do these bearings come with new bolts?

This product includes the connecting rod bearings only. New connecting rod bolts or nuts are typically recommended when replacing bearings, as they can stretch during installation and are often single-use.

What engine sizes do these ACL bearings fit?

These ACL bearings are designed for the 4.0L, 4.2L, and 4.3L engine displacements found in the specified Dodge and Jeep vehicles.
