Front panhard? (1 Viewer)

[Mark W]

I’d measure the bushings you have and if by chance they match OEM that is what I’d use. Is they don’t match an OEM bushing I’d be nervous installing anything recommended here unless they were the manufacturer.

I guess I was not clear in my post. The bushings that this panhard bar needs are not the same as OEM. The OEM bushings that I was going to install are smaller than this bar needs. They slip right through. I would love to use OEM if that was an option.

I am not really looking for bushing recomendations, just wondering if anyone has come across this and might know who the manufacturer of the bar is so that I can get the bushings from them. I'd hate to have to replace the bar just because the bushings are done.

If it was my rig, I'd cut and weld up an OEM bar to the appropriate length and be done with it. Might wind up doing that anyway it seems,

Please don't buy this for the love of god. The upper bolt don't fit into the upper hole. I'm returning returning it and getting the Delta Panhard bracket.

Excellent idea. Bracket fixes two problems and creates none, while an adjustable rear bar fixes one problem and creates one problem.

I purchased the delta bracket, just today. I love the delta logo and the design. I'm an architect and I appreciate aesthetically pleasing, functional design. I'm getting the front delta bumper as a Christmas present. Great customer service by the way. Thanks

Again, don't buy. Wasted my time and frustration.

Beautiful. Easy to install. Question. One of the third bolts provided in the kit won’t fit into the lower holes. Do you need it or I need to get a smaller sized bolt? Thanks

There should’ve only been two bolts in the package.

Okay thanks for the clarification.

I'm having the same issue this week. Changing all bushings with OEM and the front panhard are loose and just slip through. I have no idea the model of rod as I'm third owner. No markings on it. Just black and not near as rusty as the other rods, so likely newer. Did you find anything about yours?
