| A Panhard rod is a suspension link that both locates the lateral position of the rear axle housing and controls side-to-side movement. Factory GM F-Body Panhard rods are made from weak U-shaped stamped steel with soft rubber bushings that allow excessive deflection under load. BMR Suspension’s PHR003 Panhard rod is made 1.25-inch, 0.120-inch wall DOM tubing with TIG-welded chrome-moly tube adapters. The PHR003 features zinc-plated, X-series, heat-treated, chrome-moly, self-lubricating, Teflon-lined rod ends. It also features 304 stainless steel, custom designed rod end spacers.
BMR Suspension designed the PHR003 to work well for street performance, drag race, and road race applications. The heavy-duty construction eliminated the deflection seen in stamped-steel Panhard rods. Other Panhard rods on the market include rubber or polyurethane bushings that will deflect under heavy loads. The heavy-duty rod ends and stainless steel spacers of the PHR003 eliminates bushing deflection, giving you much-improved, repeatable handling characteristics on the street, starting line, or in aggressive corners. The rod ends make the PHR003 double adjustable, so all adjustments can be made on the car without removing the Panhard rod. This allows for fine-tuning and bind-free suspension articulation needed for superior handling. The all-steel design will increase NVH, so the PHR003 is not the right Panhard rod for everyone. However, this is the perfect Panhard rod for the enthusiast that requires maximum performance from the suspension. When performance is a must, rely on BMR Suspension!
BMR Suspension’s PHR003 on-car-adjustable Panhard rod is available in black hammertone and red powdercoat for long-lasting good looks. Installation time is about 1 hour. Proudly made in the U.S.A.
BMR Suspension offers several Panhard rod options for Third- and Fourth-Gen GM F-Body vehicles. The PHR001 is a non-adjustable Panhard rod with polyurethane bushings on both sides. The product is recommended when low cost is the primary consideration. The PHR002 is on-car adjustable and polyurethane bushings on both sides. The product is the most popular F-Body Panhard rod. The PHR003 is double adjustable and includes rod ends on both sides. The product is recommended for maximum performance. The PHR010 is on-car adjustable and includes a polyurethane bushing on one side and a rod end on the other. This product is a good compromise between the PHR002 and PHR003. The PHR001, PHR002, and PHR003 are all available in a lightweight, chrome-moly version (MPHR001, MPHR002, and MPHR003).
