rear panhard rod

[Gainzy]

I am going to be fitting a panhard rod soon I have a good idea of how to fit it just if anyone has any helpful info, would be good, thanks :-)

I have spacers on the back aswell and I also need shockers on the back, would it be best to wait till after the shockers have been replaced?

it wont make a difference with the shocks really. Pretty simple job. Car up on some stands at the back and then 2 bolts and its off and newone goes on. just if your cars lowered make sure you have it the correct length so your wheels sit in the centre

thanks, will the new panhard rod have to be the same size as the old one or will I have to make it longer as the wheels may stay crabbed if I keep it the same size?

Depends on ride height, if you've lowered it or not. Best thing to do is adjust it, tighten it. Drop the car and take for a spin, check again and adjust if needed

The wheels shouldn't be crabbed because if the p'hard rod! All this will adjust is the sideways movement of the rear axel the more you lower the car the more it shifts!

Measure it before you start a piece of wood across the arch and measure to the centre cap do the same on the other if it's the same set it to the same length as standard if it's nearer the n/s make it shorter!

You won't feel any difference in the alignment!
