Panhard question

[sosolid]

Isit better to just change the bushes of the OEM panhard rod bushes to poly rather than changing the whole rod to a Whiteline one?

If your car is lowered better to change to a adjustable one

Change it

[sosolid]

Yeah its lowered on teins. So if I was to change it to an adjustable one what length would I adjust it too? Its on Teins springs and KYB gas shocks so its not touching the ground lol

You need to take it to a alignment garage. They will sort it out for you.

Bit like tracking, very difficult to do it your self unless you have eqiupment

[Ollieh17]

Ive always done it by eye and never had an issue

Only real way of telling you got it right is by having it checked afterwards.

Is it the driver's side (RHS) rear wheel being pushed out lads or the passenger side (after lowering)?

In my case it's the driver's side where the arch is rubbing the wheel...

[StuDoc 72]

sure it pushes out the passenger side wheel if my memory serves me right when I fitted mine.

If your drivers side wheel is buffing the arch you most likely need to lengthen your bar slightly.

When I look at the whole set up (photo below) it makes sense what you're saying StyDoc 72 - the axle should go left after lowering as the fixed point is at the rhs!
Why my one is such a stubborn one and went the opposite way...Hmmm..

I had the alignment checked and there is minimally more of camber at the RHS wheel so maybe I should swap them shocks around (absorber's stud might be slighly bent?) and check how it's all fixed then!

I know - she's dirty:)) but it was really ugly day!
