Question regarding adjustable panhard
rods. I recently bagged my truck (no c-notch or drop spindles) and it sits like I want it to and still has a great ride.
Anyway... I recently put some 10" rally's on the rear and I noticed that the drivers side wheel sits out further in the wheel well than the passenger side. First, I thought that the wheels had different backspacing, but after checking they are alike, so... Does this mean that the rear end is NOT tracking correctly? I wouldn't have thought that it would have made THAT much of a difference with a 5- 5.5" drop. I would say without measuring that it is easily an inch difference between the passenger side and driver side. And yes... I CAN eyeball an inch or two difference ![]() Thanks, Jeff |

Re: Question regarding adjustable panhard
Adjustable rod for anything over 4" is what I was told. My truck is bagged with a 3" cup (no notches) and I went with the CPP "deluxe track bar" and it seems to work well. It goes from the passenger training arm to the stock frame mount. on sale it was $100.

Thanks Jimmy! Did your truck's rear end sit to one
side as much as mine did? I'm just hoping this fixes it and I don't have something bend somewhere!

Re: Question regarding adjustable panhard
Did you get your truck re-aligned after the air ride was installed? If not, you should take it to your local shop and have that done.
Good Luck |

Re: Question regarding adjustable panhard
I did a 5" drop on the rear of my truck and my rear end was off towards the left a good bit, same as yours. You could easily see the driveshaft pushed to one side as it headed towards the center support. Recently I ordered the ECE Super Track Bar and it helped a lot and was easy to install. Everything I have read states that it's essential to use an adjustable bar for drops 4" or greater.
