Description

Overview

Torque rod bush cushions movement at the rod eye and helps keep the suspension joint controlled under load. Because the bush sits between the rod and the mounting hardware, it also helps limit knock, wear and unwanted play through the connection. This straight rubber bush suits joints that need a 49.2mm outside diameter, a 22.2mm inner diameter and a 76.2mm overall length before the suspension goes back together.

Features

• Straight bush profile for torque rod service work
• 49.2mm outside diameter for housing match-up
• 22.2mm inside diameter, also known as 7/8″, for pin or sleeve fit
• 76.2mm length for dimension checking before fitting

Specifications and Materials

This torque rod bush measures 49.2mm OD, 22.2mm ID and 76.2mm in length. The rubber body cushions movement through the joint, while the straight outer profile gives buyers a clear set of dimensions to compare before pressing the bush into place. Part number: SP1308. General elastomer material background is covered in this engineering guide to elastomers

Compatibility and Fitment

Match outside diameter, inside diameter, overall length and bush style against the old part and the housing before ordering. Check the rod eye and inner sleeve at the same time, because wear in the surrounding hardware can distort the fit even when the bush dimensions are correct. These cross-references show where this part replaces the part numbers and applications listed.

Compliance and Safety

Inspect the rod eye, housing 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 torque rod bush during suspension rebuilds, rod repairs and general trailer service where the original bush has worn, split or gone hard. It suits Reyco 101A, Reyco 102W and similar 7/8″ torque rod or radius rod joints that use the same straight bush dimensions. 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
