85 4runner torque rod question
What is the main purpose of the torque rod? Took mine out tonight to have old bushings pressed out and new ones pressed in. I need to drive it to work tomorrow, so took it around the block and the ride feels nice without it in. So I was just kind of wondering about it.

Scuba you amaze me. You are correct. Its more for hard braking but if you have some big power under the hood I guess it could affect acceleration.
Mine is off since rolling the truck and twisting the mount on the axle housing. I don't think I'll ever need to put it back on. I can't remember ever having a bad experience braking.
