  • Improves handling and stability: By controlling axle movement and windup, the torque rod contributes to better handling and stability of the truck, especially when cornering or maneuvering.
    
  • Reduces axle windup: Under acceleration or heavy torque loads, the axle can twist slightly. The torque rod helps to resist this twisting motion (windup) and maintain optimal power transfer.
    
  • Maintains axle alignment: The primary function of the torque rod is to control the lateral movement (side-to-side) of the rear axle. It helps keep the axle centered and aligned with the frame of the truck.
