Eagle Extreme Duty Connecting Rod Single Chevrolet LD9 2.4L Cavalier Z24 | Malibu 1996-2002 - CRS5710CXD-1

If you're diving into the world of performance upgrades for your ride, let me tell you about these Eagle Extreme Duty Connecting Rods. These bad boys are made from forged 4340 steel, which means they’re built to handle some serious punishment. We're talking about a two-piece forging process that gives you a solid, reliable component. Each rod is fully machined, shot-peened, and polished to ensure you get a surface that’s not just pretty, but also tough as nails.

Now, sizing is key when it comes to connecting rods, and Eagle holds their tolerances tight. You’ll want to specify the weight you need when you order these, especially if you're pushing your engine to the limits. They're designed for extreme applications, so whether you're hitting the track or just want to make sure your daily driver can take a beating, these rods won't let you down.

  • Single bolts: 3/8" ARP Custom Age 625+
  • Material: Forged 4340 steel
  • Center to center length: 5.71"
  • Pin size: 0.866"
  • Pin end width: 0.912"
  • Rod journal: 1.889"
  • Housing bore: 2.0145"
  • Big end width: 0.912"
  • Typical weight: 550g
  • Bushed for full-floating piston pin

These rods are a perfect fit for the Chevrolet LD9 2.4L engines found in the Cavalier Z24 from 1996 to 2002 and the Malibu from 1997 to 2000. Just make sure to torque them to 60 ft-lbs using ARP Moly Lube—trust me, you don’t want to skip that step.

So, if you’re looking to beef up your engine and ensure it can handle whatever you throw at it, these Eagle connecting rods are a solid choice. They’ve got the specs and the durability to keep you on the road—or the track—without a hitch.

Who is EAGLE?

EAGLE SPECIALTY PRODUCTS, aka EAGLE, has been at the forefront of developing top-quality engine components. The company officially started back in 1992 but has been developing their product for ten years prior.  Since the company started, it has continuously produced some of the market's best engine components and is widely used by engine builders worldwide.

Imitated But Not Duplicated

Due to the company's success, its products have been imitated by other companies even up to the part numbers. But the similarity ends only up to how they look. EAGLE uses the finest materials and has invested in the most state-of-the-art manufacturing machinery for them to create a product that would be able to take any punishment it is subjected to. It is tested to be superior to other brands and considered the best upgrade for OEM counterparts.

No To Shortcuts

The company sets the benchmark on how valves should be properly made. Using their years of experience creating rods, they have already designed over 200 different rods and 180 crankshafts. The company does not allow cost to compromise its material used, manufacturing process, and quality test. 

High-End Quality

All of Eagle's products are made up of high-quality materials. They use certified 4340 Chromoly steel. Using their own special heat treatment process, they are able to create a product that is much stronger compared to other competitors using the same raw material. 

They manufacture their rods using a 2-piece forging process that allows the rod to be stronger. This process orients the "grain" of the metal to the direction of the stress. Eagle uses a state-of-the-art Sunnen Krossgrinding system that allows them to create perfect cuts and bore consistently.
