adjustable pan hard rod

(1/4) > >>

philbert:
been told i should fit one of these as my geometry will be off after lifting

how do you work out how much to adjust it?

i know yet another stoopid question :oops:

V8MoneyPit:
Depends on how much lift you have. Small lifts shouldn't need the longer Panhard rod. I would suggest anything less than a 2" lift should be fine with the standard rod.

The problem is that the rod ends up at an angle with a suspension lift. In doing so it pulls the axle to the right.

philbert:
at the moment its 2"(my lift that is!)
having probs with the handling maybe i should just slow down or perhaps castor corrected radius arms .

next time its on the ramp i'll have to check everything over.

Xtremeteam:
IMHO the adjustable arm is prety much a gimick unless you drastically alter the sus setup regularly,ive got a +2 ish lift on my 90 as youve seen & found the faster you go the worse it handles,strangely still selfcentres ok,sometimes has bad bump steer

chuggaman:
i was just about to ask the same question

the higher you lift the vehicle,,,,,wouldnt the stresses be there

and a longer length needed

i think ill go have a good look at mine
