Rear shock absorber brackets

Samuraijimny413

I understand the principle behind the Panhard rod correction bracket (a level panhard rod maximises the amount of flex in the axle in direction, a non-level rod means the axles flexes more in one direction and less in the other). However, in practice do you notice a real improvment, if there is a really noticeable benefit I will add them to my portfolio of parts.

Hello Martin,

suspension articulation largely depends on the springs and long stroke absorbers/control arms/links for improved offroad use.Where else this Taniguchi panhard rod relocation bracket is to reinforce the panhard rod when the entire weight of the rig is leaning onto her side during offroading.
I cant really relate to improvement in articulation but i do understand that harsh lateral movement can cause and ensue panhard rod failure.I have twisted 2 so far on the front end! :huh:
The sole idea is to have it as horizontally straight as possible even for the front end.
Maybe your explanation does make sound reasonings..I will bring it up a RTI ramp and compare with fellow jimnys!

Is this appliable for the front shocks too?

We have the first BigJimny product - a Rear Shock Bracket....

These new brackets are designed to:

1. Add a new dimension of rotation to improve the shock absorber operation

2. Create an adjustable position to ensure the shock absorber does not foul the springs.

3. Move the shock absrober up out of harms way

4. Provide an extra inch of length to the shock absorber.

See BigJimny shop for details

No. These brackets are only for the rear. The front is different, although, I suppose you could space the top of the shock .. Hmmmmm I wonder .....

You can space the top of the shock and Bits4Vits does these for the Vitara. I don't know what the top fitting of the Vit shock is like compared to the Jimny, but they could be the same.
