Used Truck Suspension & Steering Links – Torque Rods, Anti-Roll Bars & Stabiliser Brackets

Used truck suspension & steering links

Suspension and steering links are key components that connect axles, chassis and steering gear on heavy trucks. They help control axle position, body roll and steering geometry under braking, cornering and changing loads. On European HGVs this typically includes torque / reaction rods, anti-roll stabiliser bars, stabiliser links and brackets, drag links and track rods.

In this category we offer used OEM suspension & steering links removed from complete donor vehicles. Typical examples include MAN TGS/TGX reaction torque rods, front anti-roll stabiliser bars and stabiliser bar brackets, as well as similar components for other mainstream European truck brands.

What you will find in the Suspension & Steering Links category

Stock in the Suspension & Steering Links category changes as new donor trucks arrive, but it typically includes:

• torque rods / reaction rods that control axle wind-up and keep the drive axle correctly aligned with the chassis;
• anti-roll stabiliser bars and their brackets, which help reduce body roll and improve stability during cornering;
• stabiliser links that connect the anti-roll bar to the axle or suspension arms;
• drag links and track rods that transfer motion from the steering gear to the steering arms;
• radius rods and transverse links that locate axles longitudinally and laterally under braking and acceleration;
• selected mounting hardware such as brackets and bush housings supplied together with the main link, as shown in the product photos.

Each listing includes clear photos, OE/OEM part numbers where available and donor vehicle details so you can compare length, bush type, mounting eyes and bracket layout with the links fitted to your own truck.

Truck brands & typical applications

Most suspension and steering links in this category are taken from mainstream European heavy trucks, including:

• DAF XF and CF tractors and rigids with air and leaf suspension;
• MAN TGS and TGX long-haul, distribution and construction trucks;
• Mercedes-Benz Actros, Antos and Arocs in various axle and chassis configurations;
• Volvo FH and FM long-distance and regional haulage vehicles;
• other brands such as Scania, Iveco and Renault Trucks when suitable donor vehicles are available.

Because these are genuine OEM components removed from complete trucks, each torque rod, stabiliser bar, drag link or radius rod is normally matched to a specific axle type, suspension design, wheelbase and emission standard.

Why suspension & steering links matter

Correctly specified and healthy suspension & steering links are essential for:

• stability & handling – torque rods and radius rods help keep axles correctly located under drive and braking torque, reducing vibration and driveline stress;
• reduced body roll – anti-roll bars and stabiliser links control cab and chassis roll to improve driver confidence and cargo protection;
• steering precision – drag links and steering rods transmit steering input accurately from the steering box to the wheels;
• tyre wear & braking performance – good axle location and geometry support even tyre contact and predictable braking.

Typical reasons to replace suspension & steering links

Common reasons to order parts from the Suspension & Steering Links category include:

• excessive play or knocking noises caused by worn bushes or ball joints in torque rods, stabiliser links or drag links;
• cracked, bent or corroded arms after impact, overloading or long service in harsh environments;
• uneven tyre wear, wandering or poor tracking linked to worn reaction rods or steering links affecting axle alignment;
• MOT/inspection failures where joints, bushes or mounting brackets no longer meet safety standards;
• replacing non-original or improvised repairs with the correct OEM suspension & steering links for your truck brand and chassis code.

How to choose the correct suspension or steering link

To minimise fitting issues and ensure the right handling performance, please check the following details before ordering:

• truck brand, model and chassis type – for example DAF XF106, MAN TGX Euro 6, Mercedes Actros MP4, Volvo FH4;
• link function and position – torque / reaction rod, anti-roll bar or link, drag link, track rod, radius rod, front or rear axle;
• length and centre-to-centre distance between mounting eyes or ball joints;
• bush / joint design – eye diameter, bush width, ball joint taper and thread size where applicable;
• mounting style and bracket layout – orientation of eyes, bends and fixing holes on associated brackets;
• axle load and suspension type – air or leaf suspension, single or double drive bogie, tag or midlift axle;
• OEM part numbers stamped or printed on your existing link or brackets, matched against the references shown in the product description.

If you are unsure, you can contact us with your VIN or registration number and clear photos of the existing link, bushes and mounting points. Our team can help you confirm compatibility before you place an order. For general guidance, see How to Find the Right Part and Compatibility & VIN Policy.

Used OEM suspension & steering links from dismantled trucks

VRA Truckparts specialises in used OEM truck parts sourced from carefully selected donor vehicles. Trucks are inspected and documented before dismantling so that suspension, steering and chassis components can be assessed properly. During dismantling, our technicians remove torque rods, stabiliser bars, links and drag links, check arms, joints and bushes for visible damage and reject units that do not meet our standards.

Usable links are cleaned externally, labelled with OEM references where available and stored under cover in our yard and warehouse ready for dispatch. To learn more about how we work, please visit Our Dismantling & Quality Process, Warranty & Part Condition and Trucks We Dismantle.
