The catalytic converter converts pollutants in exhaust gas into less pollutant substances like carbon dioxide and water.
A connecting rod employs a wrist pin to link each piston to the engine's crankshaft.
Control arms (upper and lower) connect a vehicle's suspension to the frame. The connection to the wheels is through ball joints which allow the control arms to turn and move up and down simultaneously. The frame connection uses bushings.
During the exhaust stroke, just before the piston reaches bottom dead center the exhaust valve opens. The resulting gases from combustion are then pushed out through the exhaust valve as the piston travels up the cylinder to top dead center, completing stroke four of the four-stroke piston cycle.
The fluid reservoir stores the brake fluid that the master cylinder uses to maintain hydraulic pressure.
