Adjustable Panhard Rod??

[Djaniero]

Hey peeps,

I know that one of these is a must when lowering a starbo, but how do you work out how much you need to adjust it by i.e. if you lower the car by 40mm?

Secondly, how easy is it to fit and adjust the whiteline panhard rod?

Thanks

[SiCaln]

it has to be adjusted off the car, i think the Cusco one can be adjusted in situ

[Djaniero]

yeah, I read about that somewhere, that the cusco, and rsr panhard rods are ajustable on car, but the whiteline one is adjustable off car. What I need to know though, is how do you determine how much you adjust the panhard rod by, when you lower the car i.e. 40mm?

[scutch0]

yeah, i'd like to know this also, because if i keep the car i have a guy i know that will shorten a standard one for me for not alot of dough.

Rich.

Where can i get a cusco or rsr panhard rod from, as it sounds alot easier than the whiteline one?

Thanks Sparky

OK!

Lets face the facts ;b

The Need for Panhard Rod After Lowering Altho its in japanese the demo video illustrates a thousand words!

Someone in the know showed me this so I believe it is necessary to get a true adj panhard rod if u have your car lowered, be it adjustable off car or on car, its still the same function ;b

I am defo gonna get a adj panhard when I get my car lowered because I feel it is necessary to get the true feel of the suspension, will suit me down to the ground.

Peace Out

i had mine fitted at the same time as the D2's good stuff

[dac69er]

mine doesnt need one. its set to the standard length.

my bushes in my standard rod were shot though so it must have helped out there.

[Blue Icarian Wings]

If I get the demo right the panahrd rod basically keeps the wheels centered?

[dac69er]

correct

[starletno1fan]

ah wow, thats cool video i get it now

didnt know what it was before so didnt take ne notice!

[StarletSi]

Where can I get one of these because its put my front wheels out of alignment and wore my tyres down after 6 months past the rubber??

Also how much does it cost?

[SiCaln]

they only work at the back, the whiteline ones are bout £70, the Cusco bout £150

[ecksjay]

its not actually a 'must', we measured daves and the offset of the rear axle was minimal, less than 5mm, nothing to worry anyone about.

providing the wheels are the correct offset/width/diameter etc they should be fine. in my opinion its an unneeded addition, from our measurements anyway.

[StarletSi]

Thats the thing though - my wheels are 195/15/50 and have an offset of 38mm but are still wearing down the front tyres way too fast.

[ecksjay]

the panhard rod is NOTHING to do with your front wheels mate, its all to do with the solid rear axle.

you need to get your tracking/camber/toe-in adjusted, get it laser aligned etc.
