The ATRO Advantage

Whole-System Maintenance

Suspensions aren't just about individual parts; they're about a system working together.

The most important concept in heavy truck suspension systems is that all components work together. If one part fails or is worn out, the entire system's performance can be compromised. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of worn components are essential to keeping the system functioning optimally.

ATRO Suspension kits and components optimize this system, providing complete solutions designed to improve the operation and lifespan of the truck's suspension, minimize downtime, and lower the cost of repairs.

Why Rubber Falls Short

Rubber bonded parts are designed to wear out first, protecting more expensive hardware. However, their premature failure often causes further damage to the system, resulting in more frequent breakdowns and expensive repairs. When rubber parts give out, they can throw the entire suspension system into disarray—misalignment, axle damage, and compromised driveline angles are common symptoms.

Comprehensive Kits

ATRO's Axle Kits and Bushing Kits are more than just replacement parts—they’re a solution designed to maintain and protect the entire suspension system. ATRO's kits make it easier for fleet operators and mechanics to keep the system in top condition, reducing downtime and preventing future damage.

Unlike rubber parts that wear out quickly, leading to costly failures and systematic damage, ATRO's polyurethane parts are engineered to outperform and outlast rubber components.

ATRO Polyurethane: Designed for Durability

ATRO polyurethane parts last longer and are 3-5 stronger than rubber, meaning fewer replacements, less frequent downtime, and a significant reduction in the risk of system-wide damage. ATRO parts are specially designed to provide superior durability and reliability, protecting not just the part itself, but the entire suspension system. This translates to better performance on the road and less strain on the truck, improving overall reliability, and reducing total lifecycle costs.

Torque Rods: The Backbone of Suspension

Torque rods play a critical role in keeping the suspension system aligned and stable, with different types performing distinct functions:

Longitudinal Rod:

• Limits axle rotation and roll

• Controls the driveline angle

• Maintains axle alignment

Transverse Rod:

• Controls lateral movement

• Centers the axle

V-Rods:

• Controls lateral movement

• Centers the axle

• Limits axle roll

Torque rods play an essential role in keeping a truck's suspension intact by:

• Limiting axle rotation

• Maintaining axle alignment

• Controlling driveline angle
