Fitted the panhard tonight and as usual I couldn't get the old one of the bracket. Luckily I had a spare bracket that I prepared last night
by removing it's panhard. So I unbolted the panhard and bracket and took the whole thing off.
I could tell the original was way to short as the load on the bolts meant I had a real hard time geting them out. Once I bolted on the replacement bracket I bounced the jeep around a bit and used a plum line to get the wheels equally spaced from the outer edge of the flare. Then I adjusted up the new panhard and bolted it on.
The only thing to be careful of is mine is almost as short as it would go and thats on my close to 4" lift. You could get it to go shorter if you tapped the threads in the rod a little deeper, looking at it you could tap it another 1/2 inch!! Realistically I think this would fit a 6 inch lift or maybe even higher!!!
Anyway, on the road the Jeep felt a lot firmer and quieter. I'm puting that down to the control arms not being pushed off to one side and the bushes being square in the mounts now. You can also see in the pics that with my lift the bracket base on the body is almost parallel with the top of the panhard bar meaning there is almost no travel used up in the tierod. The stock one was far from it. All in all I'm very happy with it
Cheers
Steve
