TORQUE ROD ASSEMBLY

摘要

A torque rod assembly (10) includes two subassemblies (18 and 20). The subassemblies (18 and 20) are configured in a V-shape and comprise forged eyelets (50 and 54) joined by a solid bar (44) extending through the eyelets (50 and 54) at an apex end (22) of the V. Within the eyelets (50 and 54) there is an elastomer bushing (56 and 58). The elastomer bushings (56 and 58) surround the metal bar (44) joining the subassemblies (18 and 20). The assembly (10) is suitably installed on a vehicle with the apex end (22) connected to the axle assembly (14) and the opposite end (24) attached to the frame (12) of the vehicle.
