Description

Overview

Rubber radius rod bush cushions movement through the radius or torque rod joint and helps keep the suspension connection controlled under load. Because the bush sits between the rod hardware and the mounting point, it also helps limit knock, wear and unwanted play through the joint. This bush suits TAA35, TAA36, TAA37 and TAA40 layouts where the bush dimensions and replacement style need to match before installation.

Features

• Suits TAA35, TAA36, TAA37 and TAA40 applications
• 55mm / 78mm outer diameters for fitment checking
• 30mm inside diameter for rod or sleeve matching
• 52mm overall length for installation comparison

Specifications and Materials

This bush measures 55mm / 78mm OD, 30mm ID and 52mm in length. The rubber body cushions movement through the suspension joint, while the listed dimensions give buyers clear points to compare before pressing the bush into place. Part number: SP1313. For general elastomer material background, see this engineering guide to elastomers

Compatibility and Fitment

Check both outside diameter points, the 30mm inside diameter and the 52mm overall length against the old bush and the housing before ordering. Also compare the surrounding rod eye, sleeve and casting arrangement, because this bush replaces several earlier service options in TAA35, TAA36, TAA37 and TAA40 suspension work. These cross-references show where this part replaces the part numbers and applications listed. Some installations may need minor changes. SP1304, SP1305, SP1306, FL83.2156, FL832156, IT1306, WT1306

Compliance and Safety

Inspect the rod eye, mounting faces and any inner sleeve before fitting the new bush. Replace any bush that shows cracking, hardening, tearing or separation, because worn rubber can let the rod move out of line under braking and suspension travel. After installation, confirm the bush seats evenly and that the joint moves as intended without binding or side-loading.

Trailer Applications

Workshops fit this rubber radius rod bush during suspension rebuilds, torque rod repairs and general trailer service where the original bush has worn, split or gone hard. It suits TAA35, TAA36, TAA37 and TAA40 setups where one replacement bush covers the earlier service positions replaced by this part. Fleets also replace this style of bush when chasing loose suspension feel, visible play or uneven movement at the rod connection.

Why Choose ICS Trailers

When the rod hardware is already apart, changing a worn bush at the same time avoids pulling the joint down again later. ICS Trailers stocks suspension service parts that commonly wear together, so you can order bushes and related hardware in one job. Browse Suspension parts at ICS Trailers Suspension
