Crankshafts

The crankshaft is one of the most important components of any engine, responsible for converting the movement of the pistons into rotary motion that drives the vehicle's wheels. Its precision and durability have a direct impact on the engine's performance and service life. In the Global Parts automotive store you will find a wide selection of used car parts , including crankshafts fitted to BMW , Audi , Mercedes , Volkswagen , Mini and others.

What is a crankshaft and what is its importance?

The crankshaft is an engine component that performs many key functions:

• Energy Conversion – Converts the linear motion of the pistons into rotary motion which is transmitted to the drive system.
• Distributing forces – The crankshaft balances the forces generated during engine operation, ensuring smooth operation.
• Accessory Drive – Through its connection to belts and pulleys, the crankshaft drives other systems such as the alternator or water pump. The precise manufacturing of the crankshaft and its proper lubrication are crucial for reliable engine operation.

Why is it worth taking care of the crankshaft?

The crankshaft is constantly exposed to high mechanical and thermal loads, which makes regular inspection and maintenance essential. Neglecting this component can lead to:

• Engine damage due to excessive friction or overheating.
• Uneven engine operation, loss of power and increased fuel consumption.
• Serious failures that may require expensive replacement of the entire drive system. At Global Parts we offer original used crankshafts , which have undergone detailed quality tests, ensuring their full functionality.

How to choose the right crankshaft?

When selecting a crankshaft there are several key factors to consider:

• Vehicle Model Matching – Every engine has unique design requirements. At Global Parts you will find crankshafts to fit BMW , Audi , Mercedes , Volkswagen , Mini and more.
• Technical condition – The used crankshaft should be free from cracks, signs of wear and deformation.
• Service history – It is important that the shaft comes from a vehicle with a known service history to ensure its durability.

Why choose used crankshafts?

Used car parts, such as crankshafts, are an excellent solution that combines savings with high quality. By choosing used crankshafts, you gain:

• Lower costs – Used components are much cheaper than new ones, but offer equally high quality.
• Ecology – Recycling car parts helps reduce the amount of automotive waste.
• Wide range – In our shop you will find crankshafts for the most popular car brands.

• Change engine oil and filters regularly to ensure proper lubrication.
• Check the condition of the crankshaft bearings to prevent excessive wear and vibration.
• Check the tension of the drive belts, which may affect the operation of the shaft. If you need to replace your crankshaft, you will find the right used car parts at Global Parts that will restore your vehicle to full working order.
