Date May 11, 1995A one-piece or multi-part connecting rod includes a connecting rod eye, connecting rod shaft and a connecting rod head which is manufactured from at least one sheet metal strip. The sheet metal strip is shaped on both sides with essentially perpendicular fins and is bent normal to its main planed formed cylindrical or semi-cylindrical bearing surfaces about the bearing axes of the connecting rod head and connecting rod eye. The sheet metal pieces are fastenable near the bearing surfaces. The sheet metal connecting rods thus produced can be moved in automobile engines.
