Tech Tips and Additional Resources
- See ATRO Technical Guidelines and Technical Bulletins for important installation points for ATRO’s AG400 sway bar replacement kits. These documents identify optional parts in the kits and provide recommended best practices.
- Four upper torque rods are uniquely positioned in this suspension. This suspension combines the transverse and longitudinal torque rods into a dual rod, V-configuration with the torque rods mounted vertically.
- 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.
- ATRO’s replacement torque rod is TR59-41474 Torque Rod 19 3/4" c-c. It features:
- Stronger, more durable steel rod than aluminum rod
- Forged steel rod eyes
- Heavy-walled steel shaft
