A bushing assembly for use with an associated torque rod comprises a bar pin (10), an elastomeric bushing (20), and an outer sleeve (30). The bar pin has a middle section (A-B) which is generally rounded but which features a flat portion (C-D) between 30% and 40% of the axial length of the middle section. The elastomeric bushing bonded to the bar pin is compressively received within the outer sleeve so that the total height is reduced by approximately 10%. The edges (40,42) of the outer sleeve are curled inwardly toward a longitudinal axis (CL) of the assembly. <IMAGE> |
