Default Fitting Front and Rear Adj. Panhard Rods Tomorrow

For anyone that doesn't know, when I fitted my ARB 2 '1/2 lift I had the diffs move between 25 - 35 mm and so I've purchased front and rear adjustable panhard rods.
They're tough dog and kick ass heavy !! Really happy with them. I've had to give the front one a quick cote of black as I don't like anodised gold things looking all shinny under an illegally high lifted 4be.

Anyways, 4WD1 advertises the adj. front panhard as "the difference is remarkable" running 35's on a JK. So I got a Rancho steering dampener at the same time as my stocko seems to be wet??? and has wet all behind it??? (it's rooted).

Soooo I'm keen as hell to see if it rides "remarkably" better and takes out that jiggle in the steering wheel we all complain about.

I find that if I grip the steering wheel "toight" then the suspension seems to handle it pretty well, but a loose grip on the wheel flies through your hands and it feels like you’re about to crash???

Soo tomorrow I'll know if our beloved front end wobbles are less with, adj. front panhard rod and rancho steering dampener.

PS-Thanks for the heads up on re-adjusting after spring sag MC !!

Will be keen to see what you think after fitting it all. Are you running 35's? I've been running 33's and only just recently started feeling light wobbles in the steering wheel - riding over a bumpy road.
