The torque rod was located at the drive shaft of a bus or truck. The torque rod support the drive shaft and reduce the shock from movement of the drive shaft. In this study, We conducted the structural analysis and fatigue analysis of the friction welded torque rod using the Ansys workbench as a universal analysis program. From the result, the friction welded torque rod satisfied the fatigue cycle criterion demanded from the industry. The thickness difference between the end rod and tube affected the stress distribution of torque rod and that affected the fatigue cycle of the friction welded torque rod.
