Keep your 1990-2012 Subaru Legacy, Outback, Impreza or equivalents running smooth and strong with this Standard connecting rod bearing set from LowPricedAutoParts – the retailer of automotive parts and accessories that puts an emphasis on customer service. These bearings are engineered as direct replacements for the 2.2L & 2.5L naturally aspirated boxer engines in these popular Subaru vehicles.

The boxer engines deliver balanced performance for daily commuting, highway driving and AWD use when properly maintained. During major engine rebuilds or bottom-end service, unworn or lightly serviced crankshafts often use standard bearings to restore optimal clearance, preventing rod knock, oil pressure drops or bearing failure.

This Standard size set provides precise oil clearance and crush fit (shaft diameter 1.9688-1.9695", housing bore 2.0884-2.0889", wall thickness 0.0588-0.0593", width 0.794", oil clearance 0.0010-0.0028"), supporting reliable lubrication and reduced friction in normal operating conditions. The bearings help maintain performance in these popular applications.

Installation during engine rebuild or rod bearing service: Thoroughly clean crankshaft journals and rod big ends, measure bearing clearances with plastigage (target 0.0010-0.0028" for these engines), apply assembly lube to bearings & journals, install with proper orientation, torque rod bolts in stages to factory specifications, verify side clearance/endplay, and perform proper break-in with high-quality oil while monitoring for unusual noises or pressure drops. Professional assistance is recommended for accurate measurements, clearance checks and related crankshaft/rod work.
