Magnum chassis rear torque arm

(1/1)

Brian Buchanan:
Hello: Has anyone ever been able to source the adjustable rear torque arms for a Magnum chassis? Have a broken one and when I inquired about one from Beaver Coach I was quoted $1695.00 FOB Bend, quite honestly I can't afford a $2000 repair right now, I have nothing against a company making a profit but this price is ridiculous. I know they a the ball style bushings but I just can not believe it worth that much. Any ideas or suggestions appreciated.

The adjustable lower torque rod can be replaced with a fixed length one with a welded kit .

Brian go to the coach assist library  ( common problems) l where you will find an article I wrote tilted (repair / replace torque rods) out lining the torque rods and replacement kits .

This is a link to the weldable  kits for the rears ( they have a larger bolt hole than the fronts)

Hope this helps
Eric

I had found that kit on the Dayton Parts site, but I could not find the bushing width, have you used this kit? And was the bushing 3.25” wide? Or did you have to add shims?

Yes I've used one to replace one of my rear lower adjustable torque rods.
