In a DAF heavy truck's suspension, the torque rod locates the axle and transmits driving and braking torque, while the DAF torque rod bushing (OEM 1445656) is the critical flexible joint at each rod end. It cushions road impact, suppresses noise and precisely constrains axle movement. Once the bushing ages, ride stability and tire wear are directly affected. This article systematically covers the structure, material, cross-reference numbers, fitment and maintenance of the 1445656 torque rod bushing.
Structure: The 1445656 is a typical rubber-metal composite bushing, formed by an outer steel sleeve, an intermediate vulcanized rubber layer and an inner metal sleeve (or tube), bonded into one piece. The rubber is chemically bonded to both metal parts, creating an elastic joint that combines radial stiffness with axial compliance.
Material: The rubber uses a natural-rubber (NR) compounded formula for high fatigue life and low dynamic creep; metal sleeves are low-carbon steel with phosphating/e-coat corrosion protection suited to European and North American wet, salted roads.
Performance: High dynamic durability (millions of alternating load cycles), excellent vibration and noise damping, decoupled radial load and axial motion, and oil/weather resistance—matched to vehicle service intervals. See the cross-reference table below.
Series / Platform | Typical Years | Mounting Position |
DAF XF105 series | 2005–2013 | Rear-axle torque rod end |
DAF New XF (Euro 6) | 2013–2021 | Rear/mid-axle torque rod |
DAF CF85 series | 2006–2013 | Drive-axle torque rod |
DAF CF (Euro 6) | 2013–2021 | Rear-axle torque rod |
DAF LF (heavy-duty) | 2006–2018 | Rear-axle locating rod |
DAF 85/95 XF (older) | 2001–2006 | Rear-axle torque rod |
Note: Always verify by VIN and OEM number 1445656 before ordering.

1) Metallic knocking or rubber-squeeze noise around the rear axle when driving or braking
2) Axle location drift on cornering/launch; vague or wandering steering
3) Uneven or irregular tire wear
4) Increased body sway and reduced damping on rough or loaded roads
5) Visible rubber cracking, bulging, delamination or off-center sleeves
6) Noticeable brake dive and delayed torque transfer

Exact dimensions follow the OEM 1445656 drawing; customization by sample or drawing supported.
1) Thoroughly clean the rod bore and end before replacement; remove rust and old rubber residue
2) Use a proper press tool acting on the outer steel sleeve face—never hammer the rubber directly
3) Ensure correct press direction and angle to avoid sleeve eccentricity and premature failure
4) Use only manufacturer-approved assembly lubricant; avoid mineral oils that attack rubber
5) Torque the rod bolts to OEM spec and do final tightening with the vehicle at rest under load
6) Replace in pairs/sets and inspect the rod body and adjacent suspension parts
Q1: Which DAF models does bushing 1445656 fit?
A: Mainly DAF XF105, New XF, CF85, CF Euro 6 and some heavy-duty LF models—verify by VIN and OEM number.
Q2: Is your bushing equal to the OEM part?
A: Produced to IATF 16949 with dimensions, hardness and durability controlled to OEM drawings; third-party test reports and samples available.
Q3: How do I know the bushing needs replacing?
A: Noise, wandering, uneven tire wear, cracked or bulging rubber all indicate replacement is due.
Q4: Can rubber hardness be customized?
A: Yes. Standard is Shore A 55±5; compounds can be tuned within 45–65 for your duty cycle.
Q5: What is the MOQ?
A: Small trial orders are welcome; production MOQ is negotiable by spec. Sample validation first is encouraged.
Q6: Can you make to our drawing or sample?
A: Yes. Provide a drawing or sample and we develop it—OEM/ODM and private label supported.
Q7: What is the lead time?
A: Stock items ship in 3–7 days; custom parts about 25–35 days depending on tooling and volume.
Q8: Do you help with cross-reference matching?
A: Yes. Send the OEM number or old-part dimensions and we confirm the cross reference and fit.
The DAF torque rod bushing 1445656 is a key flexible component that keeps the rear axle located and the ride stable. Choosing a factory-direct, certified supplier with cross-reference matching and customization lowers maintenance cost and inventory risk.
