cranks
The crankshaft is a part that helps turn the engine's up-and-down movements into spinning that moves the car. If it's damaged, the car won't run right.
Cranks refer to the crankshaft, which converts the pistons' up-and-down motion into rotational motion to power the vehicle. Damage to the crankshaft is a major engine problem.
