Torque Rods
Posted: Fri Nov 08, 2024 11:51 pm
Evening all,
After finding a bit of discussion about the lack of availability of the bushings for torque rods and a bit of back and forth on pouring bushings for them I thought I would ask about whether this is a part that has some demand in the community? I have thought about going about this one of two ways:
1. Reproduce the bushings for the torque rod - either rubber or urethane would be an option though the urethane is probably easier to source and has a lower cost of entry given the lower cost of a mold versus the cost of a rubber mold.
2. Recreate the rod itself and redesign so that it has an available bushing like the Prothane 19603 that matches out through diameter and width
Just wanted to see what everyone thought - if there is no demand I will likely just go down one of these paths for myself but figured I would open this up to gauge interest.
Let me know.
Thanks everyone!
