Abstract
A torque rod for a heavy duty motor vehicle includes a shaft and two ends, each end being selectively attachable to points on the vehicle's chassis. The rod is composed of a polymerizable composite material. The shaft is either of solid, hollow, or layered composition. As an option, the shaft includes two adjustably interlocking halves enclosed and overlapped by a slidable sleeve. The sleeve is provided with a hole for the insertion of a bonding and filling material to fix the selected interlocked position to fit the chassis as needed.
