ABSTRACT:
In a vehicle having a chassis, an axle and a pair of laterally spaced torque arm assemblies connecting the axle to the chassis and arranged longitudinally of the vehicle, each torque arm assembly includes a composite resin/glass fiber arm which has one end pivotally attached to the a chassis and which is attached to the axle at a first bolt by an end fitting. A clamp assembly is clamped to the arm along a length of the arm spaced from the end fitting and is fastened to the axle at a second bolt spaced from the first bolt. Cushioning between the clamp assembly and the arm is provided by rubber pads. The two torque arm assemblies produce an anti-roll effect by the bending of each arm in opposite directions during cornering or traversing uneven surfaces.
