FJ Cruiser Adjustable Rear Panhard Rod

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.
