I find this hard to reply to as we have many buses that may sheer a tyre but the torque rods do not come away. As a guide we have never had a torque rod pull apart neither has tranzit ever! If I went to Tranzit with this assumption they would just laugh at me.Seriously can we have some constructive discussion on this ?Damage could have been done when the torque rod came apart as this puts a lot of strain on the tyre itself.
