Torque Rod?

**garyft** · 06-17-2005, 04:42 AM

Sorry for a newbie question, but I just recently got this car and am very unfamiliar with it. There is a large bar running from the firewall to the top of the engine on the passenger's side. At first I assumed this was a motor mount, but then I saw a reference to a "Torque Rod". Is this the torque rod? At any rate, the darn thing is loose on both ends, but I need to know what to get before I buy stuff. I'm assuming I can just get the torque rod bushings and fix it up. Any help?

NV. thought it was whole unit.

it keeps the engine from rocking back and forth since the engione sits sideways. The rod can have side-to-side play but it shouldn't have any front-to-back movement

The bushings can be replaced, I did mine. Part no. 7, insulater A $13.25, part no. 9, insulator B $15.53.
