1. Function and Working Principles of Torque Rod Bushings

Torque rod bushings are installed at both ends of the torque rod, connecting the axle to the chassis. In the HINO 700 suspension system, they endure extremely high loads and dynamic impacts.

1) Control Axle Rotation and Longitudinal Movement

During acceleration, braking, and hill climbing, the axle generates torsional force and forward/backward displacement.
The rubber damping layer inside the bushing absorbs shear deformation, ensuring proper axle alignment and preventing excessive movement.

2) Maintain Suspension Geometry

The bushing stabilizes axle positioning so that the suspension geometry remains constant under load.
Proper geometry reduces driveline vibration, universal joint wear, and noise.

3) Absorb Shocks and Vibrations

The elastic rubber layer filters road impacts and high-frequency vibration, reducing metal-to-metal contact and enhancing ride comfort and durability.

In short:
A torque rod bushing is a dynamic stabilizer of axle positioning, driveline integrity, and suspension comfort.


2. Features of OEM S40J9-E0190 Torque Rod Bushing

Designed for HINO 700

OEM reference S40J9-E0190 is widely used across the HINO 700 series (exact position depends on the axle configuration).

High Load Capacity & Anti-Fatigue Performance

  • Specially formulated rubber for high fatigue resistance

  • Thick-walled steel sleeves for high torsional loads

  • Integrated vulcanized bonding for superior durability

  • Designed for heavy-duty and rough-road environments

Comparison with Common Replacement Numbers

Common equivalents include:

  • S40J9-E0190

  • S40J9-E0191

  • Other regional HINO 700 torque rod bushings

Advantages of the Huami version:

  • Enhanced rubber thickness

  • Higher bonding strength than standard aftermarket bushings

  • Excellent resistance to oil, ozone, heat, and abrasion

  • Longer life under heavy-duty or mining conditions

3. Structural Overview

A torque rod bushing consists of three main components:


(1) Inner Sleeve

  • Material: Alloy steel / high-carbon steel

  • Function: Mounting interface with the chassis or torque rod bolt

  • Requirements: High strength, toughness, and precise inner diameter


(2) Outer Sleeve

  • Material: Seamless thick-wall steel tube

  • Function: Press-fit into torque rod housing

  • Requirements: High roundness, strong compression resistance


(3) Rubber Damping Layer

This is the functional core of the bushing.

Material options include:

  • NR (Natural Rubber): Best elasticity & fatigue resistance

  • NBR: Excellent oil and grease resistance

  • EPDM: Superior ozone, aging, and heat resistance


Material Performance Indicators (Typical Values)

  • Hardness: 65–80 Shore A

  • Operating Temperature: –40°C to +120°C

  • Oil Resistance: High (NBR-based compounds)

  • Abrasion Resistance: 20–30% higher than standard aftermarket bushings

4. Common Failure Symptoms and Inspection Methods

Because torque rod bushings are wear items, regular inspection is essential.


1) Axle Vibration or Sway During Acceleration

A worn bushing cannot restrain torsion and movement, causing the axle to shift.

2) Clunking Noise or Metal Impact Sounds

Indicates severe rubber cracking or complete debonding, allowing metal-to-metal contact.

3) Visible Rubber Cracks or Pieces Falling Off

Often caused by:

  • Continuous heavy load

  • High temperature exposure

  • Oil contamination

  • Poor-quality rubber

4) Inspection Methods

  • Visual Inspection: Look for cracks, tears, or separation

  • Lever/Pry Test: Check for inner/outer sleeve movement

  • Loaded Test: Apply force while lifted to detect excessive movement

If any of these symptoms appear, a torsional bushing replacement should be performed immediately.


5. Replacement & Installation Guidelines

Proper installation is crucial to bushing life and suspension stability.


1) Press-Fit Instructions

  • Use a hydraulic press and proper tooling

  • Do NOT hammer the bushing

  • Ensure press direction matches OEM orientation

  • Avoid damaging rubber or deforming the outer sleeve


2) Alignment Requirements

  • The inner and outer sleeves must remain perfectly concentric

  • Misalignment will cause premature tearing


3) Re-tightening Interval

  • First inspection after 500–1000 km

  • Recheck during every major service interval
