Adjustable panhard rod question

[sosolid]

So when you install a whiteline panhard rod to the rear do you adjust it to be the same size as the oem one on it?

Also im on tein lowering springs.

Do you install it with the car jacked up on one side, both sides? Do both rear wheels have to be off the floor?

[Starlet__SR]

No, it'll be it a slightly different length. However its best to set it to the original length to make life easier when setting up. I did mine with both wheels on the floor, a string line over each arch to measure the outside face of the wheel in releation to the outside of the body.

What make panhard rod did you install? Also did you notice a real difference?

You just adjust it so tht the rear axle is centered when the car is on its wheels. It doesnt really serve a handling purpose as such other than bringing the rear beam back in line with the front wheels once the car has been lowered.

morgey said it ^^

the manufacturer/thickness makes no difference it just ties the rear beam central to the body, Although to an extent, it will effect handling.

If you weren't going to already I'd say have it laser aligned front and back.

Strings good for camber boys (why give a fuck about tyres when your fake wheels look that cool bro ) if the panhards not adjusted right the inner edge of the n/s/r tyre will get eaten, you'll notice the car will "crab" down the road and ultimately handle like shit.

Laser alignment will align the wheels but still wont align the body. If the rear axle isnt centred it will then crab. And they still use string in time attack for alignment, so it cant be that bad.

The laser alignment at my work does... it's some expensive bessingbarth digital stuff but..... it knows

Time attack tyres don't exactly last long or stay on the rims half as long as a road tyre nor are they a tyre compound that many if anyone would have on a road car ..

They use a body mount too? Not many places stock something like that. Its usually just Hunter alignment rigs which arent capable of setting body to wheel alignment. And maybe not, but you seem to underestimate the use of string.

[roachburger]

Haha I don't underestimate it, I've simply more faith in expensive lasers than my own terrible eyesight, a suspectly unlevel driveway and a plumbline.

Yeahh, Theres more attachments than a porn stars dildo. We need really accurate stuff for the kit cars.

Now when i lowered my gt ot was the outside of the osf wheel thatvwas scrubbing, and now ive put the panhard bar on its the nsr 😂😂

I wonder why it's the o/s (driver side ) wheel rubbing in my case?!?! (Most of ye said it's the n/s...)

I'm lowered 30mm with oem Panhard (cusco is waiting to be fitted but will it help?)

Outside of the offside wheel, inside of the nearside wheel.

Panhard rod will help
