An improved method of manufacturing a swash plate assembly for use in a compressor, fluid motor or similar device in which a plurality of pistons are connected, by means of connecting rods, to a swash plate which drives (or is driven by) the pistons. A plurality of piston assemblies are made by casting the piston body around one end of a connecting rod section which is formed with a ball, thus providing a ball-socket connection therebetween. Other connecting rod sections are cast-in-place and captured in sockets within the wobble plate. With the connecting rod being made in two pieces, the section connected to each of the pistons and the section connected to the swash plate are positioned in a fixed relation to one another in an appropriate fixture. The two sections of each connecting rod are then secured to each other, such as by welding, brazing or crimping, to complete the assembly.
