Sealed type is the toughest torque rod and the recommended use is on severe service applications like garbage trucks and tow trucks. The grease in the ends is the only shock absorbing material, so they transfer the most vibration and shock to the suspension. Sealed type torque rods are the costliest. The rolled steel confines the material and prevents the bushing from sliding out of the torque rod end.
High confinement bushings may be rubber or urethane, and this style will typically be used on suspensions that place a high amount of lateral force on the torque rod. These bushings are not replaceable, and the entire torque arm assembly will need to be replaced. We recommended that a shop perform the replacement of torque rod bushings.
Replacing the bushings requires a large hydraulic press and correctly sized press dies. Patience and a lot of practice aide in replacing torque rod bushings and incorrectly installing bushings can easily destroy them. In some cases replacement may require a special torque rod bushing tool.

Hi, Speaking of torque… I have a w 36 v motor from China, I bought a conversion-kit. I am pulling a chariot with two small children in it and the steep hills where I live seems to get my motor all heated up.
And sometimes, if I stop for some reason in a steep hill, I cant get moving again. I have read somewhere that I need at least 70 Nm of torque to get my ass up them hills, and probably a stronger more watts motor, more instant power.
How to calculate or know how much torque I have to my disposal, and do I need to order another maybe w engine and a new battery to be happy? Also make sure you have a battery than can handle it. More AH is better for higher power needs like big hills.
