| The panhard rod is responsible for locating the rear end side-to-side in the chassis. Factory F-Body panhard rods are made from stamped-u-shaped material and utilize soft, rubber bushings that allow deflection under load. BMR panhard rods are all made from large diameter 1.25", heavy wall DOM tubing and utilize either grease able polyurethane bushings or HD spherical bearings by QA1. The adjustable versions use left-hand and right-hand thread to allow easy "on-car" adjustment. The CNC machined adjusters are made from 4130 chromoly and have rolled threads. All rod end spacers are 304 stainless. You won't find higher quality pieces.
By nature, a panhard rod will alter rear end position as ride height changes. This makes it necessary to use an adjustable panhard rod when lowering your vehicle as it allows you to re-center the rear end. Adjustable panhard rods also become a "must-have" part if you are trying to fit the widest tires possible in the wheel well. Available in Black Hammertone or red powder coat.
