Torque Rod Bush 83.2151

A Torque Rod Bush (or Torque Rod Bushing) is an important component of the torque rod suspension system in many heavy-duty vehicles, such as trucks, trailers, buses, and off-road vehicles. It is a type of rubber or polyurethane bushing used to absorb and reduce vibrations and impacts, while also providing flexibility in the suspension system.

Function of the Torque Rod Bush:

1. Absorbs Vibration and Shock:  The torque rod bushing helps absorb the shocks and vibrations that are transmitted from the road surface to the vehicle. It helps in reducing the amount of impact that is transferred to the vehicle’s frame and axle, ensuring a smoother ride.

2. Reduces Noise:  By providing a flexible connection between the torque rod and the chassis or axle, the bushing also reduces noise created by the movement of suspension components. This is especially important in commercial trucks and buses that travel long distances.

3. Prevents Metal-to-Metal Contact: The bushing helps maintain a cushion between the metal parts of the torque rod and other components in the suspension, such as the chassis or axle. This reduces wear on the metal parts and prolongs the lifespan of the suspension system.
