Panhard Rods was created by gazert
So she has been lifted and as expected both axles are over to the right!!!
She is on a +3 spring lift.
Question is how much do I extend the panhard rods by to bring them back equal distance!
I knew I should have tried harder at maths! Who said that Trig would never come in again!!

Hi
I got adjustable ones, so is just a case of adjusting until is right....

Are you considering keeping the standard ones? I could measure my ones tomorrow as I have 3" lift as well ...

To adjust an adjustable:
Remove bolts through the bush at the adjuster end, pull both rods out of fixing.
Bounce suspension, roll car back and forwards a bit, load suspension to normal if you like.
Adjust the length until the bolt goes back through the eye end. You might find it needs doing again when the springs have settled in.

To adjust a non-adjustable

Saw straight across the tubes both ends of the car at once, or disconnect one end and saw the other rod.
Bounce & roll a bit.
Use a straight rule to straighten the rod, and measure the gap. Remove rod, and fill the gap with a turned plug and weld properly.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)
