nicks90 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 if you have lots of lift - you really need a longer panhard rod to keep the axle in the right place under the truck, otherwise it sits slightly off center..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escape Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Why do you need an adjustable Panhard rod ??mike To align the front axle left-right after a spring lift. As the axle moves down (larger springs tend to have this effect) a standard Panhard Rod pulls the axle towards the driverside, by increasing the length the axle remains in the middle of the chassis. To make sure you have the exact length, an adjustable version can be set up depending on the exact lift and overall geometrie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a two inch lift 0.8mm is require to bring the Panhard rod back to length. That's taken up in production tolerances [sp] Somebody worked it out for me a couple of years ago. Yes I was suprised to find it was so little. The axle is generally off set to one side in any case mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it's adjustable you at least have the opportunity to fine-tune it and compensate for production tolerances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I lifted my 90 4" it threw the panhard rod out by nearl 10mm , So I made my own using a rose joint on the axle end , 12 months later its still fine . Also have cut and sleeved a couple using CDS tubing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen and been in rejo's Disco and it certainly has lots of lift! He frightened me by going round a sharp corner at speed. My Defender would have rolled over but in his Disco we remained upright and in one piece! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 I recently replaced my panhard rodd bushes & was quite surprised to see how far the axle/chassis was out of line, once the rod was refitted all was well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
