A steel reinforced filled polymer torque rod and method of making the same, is disclosed. The torque rod includes a stamped metal reinforcement plate (10) having first (12) and second (16) bores therethrough which are surrounded by first (14) and second (18) annular flanges, respectively. The stamped metal reinforcement plate (10) also includes a depression (20) extending axially between the first connector bore (12) and the second connector bore (16), and an end flange (22) surrounding an end surface of the reinforcement plate. The torque rod also includes a polymer shell (26) which encases and conforms to the stamped metal reinforcement plate (10). The polymer shell (16) includes a first connector portion (28) which encases the first connector bore and first annular flange, a second connector portion (30) which encases the second connector bore and the second connector flange, an end wall (32) which encases the end flange, and a number of side walls (34) which encase the depression. |
