What You're Actually Buying
This is an adjustable torque rod, not a fixed-length arm. That adjustability matters because trailer and truck manufacturers didn't all agree on axle spacing, so having 8 inches of play built into the rod means one part covers a range of applications instead of stocking ten different fixed lengths.
Comes with bushings already pressed in, 2.5 inch width on the arm itself. On the F-250 application this typically replaces a torque arm that's cracked, sagging, or has bushings so worn the axle's moving more than it should under braking or acceleration.
Rubber bushings will wear out before the steel arm does — that's normal. If you're replacing this on a truck that's been running for 40+ years, don't be shocked if the mounting brackets need attention too.
Reading the Cross-Reference
346147 crosses to Hutchens numbers like 1639819, 1639823, 1639825, and E7683, along with a Meritor-style Hutch application number. These aren't coincidence — Hutchens built a lot of the OE suspension components for trailer and truck applications in this era, and the aftermarket houses reverse-engineered to the same mounting geometry and bushing bore.
534-219 and DS806 show up because different distributors relabel the same casting under their own house numbers. HDP010194L and HDP010195L are left/right pair numbers — check if your application needs a matched pair or if you're only replacing one side.
What to actually verify before you order: extended length range has to cover your axle spread, the 2.5 inch arm width has to clear your brackets, and the 0.4 inch center bushing bore has to match your bolt or pin diameter. Don't guess off a catalog photo — pull the old part and read the number stamped on it, or run the VIN.
Ordering From PartStop
We're in Tacoma, and if you're local we can usually have this on the counter same day — call ahead so we pull it before you drive over. Ship nationwide if you're not close, and most orders move within a day or two.
At $69.99 this isn't the cheapest torque rod on the shelf, but it's not the most expensive either. Comes with a 6+ month warranty against defects — normal wear and tear on bushings isn't covered, that's just how rubber works.
If you're not 100% sure this crosses to your application, call us with the old part number or your VIN before you order. Cheaper to make a phone call than to pay return shipping on a torque rod.
346147 Cross-Reference & Interchange Numbers
These manufacturer and aftermarket numbers commonly cross-reference to 346147. Use them to identify the part — then confirm the exact fit by VIN or the number stamped on your old unit before you order. An interchange is a starting point, not a fitment guarantee.

Frequently asked questions
Does 346147 fit my 1976 F-250?
Likely, but confirm before you buy. This rod is listed for 1973-1979 F-250s, but Ford changed suspension setups more than once in that run. Pull the old torque rod and check the number stamped on it, or give us your VIN and we'll verify.
Is this the same as the Hutchens 1639819?
It cross-references to it, meaning same mounting geometry and bushing bore, but 'same as' and 'interchanges with' aren't identical promises. Different manufacturer, different casting, built to the same spec. Should bolt in the same way — check your old part's length and width against the specs listed here to be sure.
Do I need one rod or a pair?
Depends on your application. HDP010194L and HDP010195L are left and right versions, which tells you some setups need two. Check your trailer or truck's suspension — if there are two mounting points for torque rods, you need two rods, not one.
