Abstract
A V-configuration torque rod has an apex pivotal joint system which includes a pair of pivotal end joint assemblies connected by a bar-pin journal. The bar-pin journal is bent as an angle to define the V-configuration of the torque rod. By using the bent bar-pin journal, straight links for the arms of the V-configuration can be utilized using similar components at each end joint assembly.
