Both products are designed to improve vehicle stability, shock absorption, and ride comfort, especially across challenging terrains. Manufactured using high-grade rubber and robust rubber-to-metal bonding, they offer long-term reliability for both OEMs and the aftermarket.

Product Highlights

Load Cushion

Used in bogie suspension systems of HCVs, tippers, and trailers, the Load Cushion sits between the chassis and axle or leaf spring assembly. It absorbs vertical loads and road shocks, maintaining structural balance and comfort.

Key features:

Premium rubber elasticity
Strong rubber-to-metal bonding
Long-lasting compressive strength
Consistent performance in heavy-duty conditions

Torque Rod Bush

Installed at both ends of the torque rod connecting the axle to the chassis, the Torque Rod Bush absorbs road shocks and vibrations, helping maintain alignment under braking or load shifts. It supports axle articulation in tough terrain and contributes to NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) control.

Key features:

High dynamic load endurance
Effective vibration i+solation
Shock absorption to protect driveline components
