I used this as a torque rod. Got it from a tractor shop for R300. Since installation, my Lux doesn't pull to the left when braking, and its much more stable. It swivels at the spring mount, and it's adustable
Don't look at the Bulbar bottom, still working on that
Sjoe! .... that's a monster TR! I like the fact that it has a ball joint!
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow. Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive. It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain. And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!
Would work, but then I would rather cut the original in half, have both ends threaded (one LH thread and one normal RH thread) and have corresponding threads cut into a thick walled tube which would make it adjustable (like a turn-buckle).

Tx Andy, but surely there should only be a specific position for it, why adjustable? If in the stationary position should'nt that be where it should be?
Jammer vir die vrae maar ek is nog 'n leek. As die bakkie kant toe getrek het wanneer jy briek beteken dit nie jou brieke moet verstel word nie?
Wat is die funksie van die torque rod modifikasie, het die bakkie normaalweg een daar of nie?
Wat sal die voordeel wees van die aanpassing en sal dit nie artikulasie of iets benadeel nie?
Weereens jammer maar ek wil graag bietjie leer by die kenners en verstaan hoekom. :wth: :wth:

Adjustable is so much easier to set when the vehicle is standing at rest on a level surface. Also if at a later time you fit another bull bar and / or winch it can again easily be adjusted for optimum length.

Do a search for "Torque rod" ... there are already a lot of posts / topics covering it's function etc.

Jan, ek weet nie wat die funksie is nie ( kyk na Andy se comment en ons gaan lees die posts waarna hy verwys) maar as jy daai ding afhaal of sy posisie verander word die SFA 'n ongeluk op wiele. Jy kan hom nie op die pad hou nie.
Dit hou die as regop. As jy briek sonder dit, draai jou as vorentoe en trek teen die steering meganisme wat die wielle dan na links trek. as jy reverse en dan briek, sal dit na regs trek...
Maak sin
