Tech Tips and Additional Resources
ATRO’s transverse rod replacement (ATRO’s TR75-41059, OE# 03-04059):
- Rebushable and rotating-pin for easy installation
- Heavy-duty bushing (OE standard bushing has smaller O.D.)
- If rebushing ATRO’s TR75-41059, use ATRO’s TS38000
- If rebushing OE/aftermarket rods, use ATRO’s TS34000
ATRO’s torque rods for lower rod replacement:
- Rebushable and a rotating-pin for easy installation
- The lower rods come in two versions:
- 1. ATRO’s TR75-41119 is a direct OE replacement – both use the larger straddle bushing (TS38000)
- 2. ATRO’s TR75-41327 option is also a direct replacement to the OE offering. Note: the bushings within the same rod differ. The axle bracket end has a 3/4" bolt but the frame end has a 5/8" bolt. ATRO’s rod, TR75-41327, has a TS38000 in one end and a TS38750 in the other.
ATRO also offers the spring roller, SU75-29623, or the complete spring roller kit, SU75-29624. ATRO pricing on the kit includes the polyurethane and steel rollers plus the bolt, nut and washer.
