Product Overview
The torque rod bush is a critical suspension component used in heavy-duty trucks such as TATA 2516, as well as compatible Volvo and MAN models. It fits into the torque rod assembly — a linkage that controls axle torque, stabilizes the suspension, and helps align the rear axle with the chassis during acceleration, braking, and cornering.
This specific version features a small height profile and serrated surface design, optimized for installations where reduced vertical space is required and enhanced engagement is needed between the bushing and the torque rod housing or mount.
Function
Supports axle torque transmission while minimizing stress on the chassis.
Absorbs vibration and shock loads transferred through the suspension system.
Reduces noise, vibration & harshness (NVH) for improved ride comfort.
Maintains axle alignment and resists lateral movement under dynamic loads.
Key Features
Small Height Design: Lower profile bushing for use in applications with tight vertical clearance, aiding fitment in specific Tata/Volvo/MAN torque rod assemblies.
Serrated Surface: Textured finish on the outer sleeve or contact surface enhances grip and reduces relative movement between components.
Rubber-to-Metal Construction: High-strength rubber bonded to robust metal inner and outer sleeves for optimal elasticity and load transfer.
High Load Capacity: Capable of enduring heavy torsional forces encountered in commercial truck suspension systems.
Durable and Wear-Resistant: Engineered to withstand heat, shock, and environmental conditions typical of heavy-duty service.
