glenn Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 you can get a adjustable one off geo i think if not i got mine from whiteline but they take a couple of weeks to come from australia Quote Link to post Share on other sites
potge Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 There is indeed adjustable panhard rod most known would be whitelines and you can purchase it straight from whiteline or demon-tweeks. Other options would be RS*R`s or cuscos but both hard to find so according to me not bother. However there is something incorrect the camber cannot be adjusted as we have a solid rear axle and therefore the camber is fixed. You only change the rods length to align it as with the current design when you lower the car the rear axle goes a little left if am not mistaken. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Robbo Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 the length is adjustable to equal out the back end when its been lowered, see http://hardcore.ep91.com/sus_phrod.html for details on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
potge Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Yep Robbo got me. And he site is pretty good i will just add this site where is an animated explanation of what the adjustable panhard rod does:http://www.rs-r.co.jp/products/lateral/index.htmwatch the flash i think its very enlightining. The price for whiteline`s should be approximately 66gbp. and most of the other jap solutions have similar price... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SiCaln Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 nice find guys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted December 26, 2005 Author Share Posted December 26, 2005 WOW, that was really helpful, thanks for the help guys. Is it £66 from demon tweeks and how long would it take to come because I've gotta get her back on the road as soon as possible. i would have geos off haim but ghe hasnt got back to me yet.Thanks again guys, Sparky Quote Link to post Share on other sites
potge Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Mmm delivery times is a mystery from whiteline. If demon tweeks have it on stock (check that from their site) its only delivery time-i guess a couple of days. if they dont have it in stock it will be a problem cause whiteline is closed for x`mas and even if the werent closed their shippings are a bit slow.And yes the price was from demon tweeks.

Sparky Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 Right, ive taken the rod off and can see that its completely shagged, but it looks like where it bolts onto the rear beam is bent. could someone please confirm that where the panhard rod joins to the rear beam is dead straight or is the bolt part at a slight angle? (this may not makes sense but its quite hard to explain!!) Cheers guys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robbo Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Should be straight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
