3097151 Connecting Rod for Volvo FL10 D10A

What does a compressor connecting rod do?

The compressor connecting rod serves as the critical link within the air brake compressor, joining the crankshaft to the piston to convert rotary motion into a compression stroke. This component is essential for maintaining stable air output and system pressure in heavy commercial vehicle pneumatic systems.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This specific part is designed for Volvo FL10 models utilizing the D10A engine. It functions within the air brake compressor assembly to ensure precise mechanical timing and durability under continuous heavy-duty operating conditions.

Installation and maintenance

When performing maintenance or repair, technicians should verify the rod's geometry and connection points against the existing unit. Proper installation ensures the reciprocating motion of the piston remains synchronized with the crankshaft, preventing premature wear of the internal compressor components.

Maintenance and inspection

Regular inspection of connecting rods can help prevent air system pressure drops or mechanical failures in the compressor assembly. For precise fitment, always cross-reference the existing part against vehicle specifications.

OE cross-reference

7300 880 002 (Compressor Connecting Rod) is the equivalent of the Volvo OE number. This part directly replaces Volvo OE number 3097151.
