Adam001 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) Hi all. Recently swapped my front axle on my '88 110 to a 02 on axle that suits the M16 panhard rod. I've gone about getting the later panhard rod chassis bracket and a second hand rod off ebay. I've just fitted my bushes and compared it to the old rod, the new rod is significantly shorter, is this right? Old rod with yellow bushes - ~82cm betweem centres new rod with purple bushes - ~78cm between centres (first photo makes it look like they are the same length, one end is aligned) Could someone help with knowhow or measure theirs? Thanks! Edited May 2, 2021 by Adam001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Pretty sure they should be the same length. I have one of each here and they are: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam001 Posted May 2, 2021 Author Share Posted May 2, 2021 Thanks. Is one of yours in the photo the bent type? Could you measure one for me? Racking my brains 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Are D2 ones the same length as a defender one? Could that be why you've got differences? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are right. D2 is RBI000090 which appears to be 780mm from a good google. Damn, been given the wrong one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Yes, top one is the older solid bar type with the bend for diff clearance. Bottom one is the later straight hollow tube type. Both measure 820mm or so hole centres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
