ATRO’s TS59-22400 Straddle Bushing (High Articulation) is designed to withstand the conical motion required. It is the only ATRO torque rod bushing approved for use in OE aluminum rods. It features:
- Articulation voids to provide extra conical motion (critical for times air is let out of air bag and the rear drops.)
- Modified oval pin (compared to ATRO’s standard straight-bodied pin) to allow conical motion.
