When lifting a vehicle with a solid axle that is
located to the chassis with a Panhard rod, the axle will shift sideways as
the lift is increased. Adjustable Panhard rods allow realignment of the axle
to the chassis for proper handling characteristics. By using a high
performance rod end, and sleeved bushings instead of vulcanized rubber
bushings as found on the stock Panhard rod, the Panhard rod will no longer
resist movement, and allows for greater articulation and suspension travel.
Our high angle adjustable rear Panhard rod is made from 1-1/4”, .250” wall
DOM tubing, and on the frame end features a QA1 Endura rod end with a
Teflon/Kevlar, self lubricating, self sealing liner. Rod end body is heat
treated Chrome Moly, and the ball is 52100 heat treated, hard chrome plated
bearing steel. Increased cross sectional thickness help give this rod end a
radial static load rating of 45,000 lbs. Stainless Steel misalignment
bushings finish off the adjustable end of the upper Panhard rod . At the
axle end of the Panhard rod is a slotted polyurethane bushing set with a
custom sleeve to help absorb road shocks and vibration instead of
transferring into the chassis.
