thomastractorsvc Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 What are options to replace the old style rods or can you still get them? I haven't called Mack yet about them just putting together a list of stuff that the truck needs. Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

alex g Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 You can still get torque rods from mack but there a newer style. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47491-1967-mack-r-685-torque-rods/#findComment-350392 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomastractorsvc Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 Good I didn't know what I would have for options. I checked on the trunion bushings as I am going to rebuild the spring packs and I figured since I was going to have all that stuff loose I want to change them Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

Popular Post fifth wheel Posted October 31, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2016 The ends are serviceable, many times you can rotate the ball stud and tighten the end plug.

thomastractorsvc Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 A couple have the plugs welded up and the are loose so figure they are probably need to be replaced Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

theakerstwo Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 http://www.stengelbros.net/Torque-Rods_c_424.html I have got them here from weldon supply and they are two parts that use a tube that you slide the ends up in and weld to the length you need. 1 Quote glenn akers Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47491-1967-mack-r-685-torque-rods/#findComment-350459 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kscarbel2 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 They look like 1RY312 series torque rods. When you contacted Watts Mack at 1-888-304-6225 with your model and serial number about new studs, seats, springs and 95RU32 rubber boots, what did they say? Using your model and serial number, Watts can reference your truck's 3QK rear suspension arrangement and see the torque rod's component break down.

They are tapered studs. I would think, from that link, once you confirm the stud size having removed them, they can help you. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47491-1967-mack-r-685-torque-rods/#findComment-350854 Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomastractorsvc Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 I did find on PAI site a rebuild kit for the ball socket. If the plugs on mine weren't welded I would probably try that route first as I am sure the PAI kit would be less than a complete torque rod kit.

Vladislav Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 If you cut the welds off you will too probably fix them with no parts needed.
