I have a 97 FZJ80 with Old Man Emu 2.5' all around, heavy in front, medium in the rear, ARB Bullbar with M12000, dual batteries, swaybar dropblocks in front, rear swaybar brackets, front and rear panhard joints and adjustable upper rear control arms.
Now the question - - Since I've installed the panhard joints and adj. rear control arms, I've noticed that when going over mogul type bumps the vehicle moves alot from side to side. While driving on the highway, holes in the asphalt or large bumps are very noticable - in other words, the smooth ride is gone. I've had the entire suspension checked out by Toyota and then by a private mechanic and everything is balanced etc. Understandable, I can't expect to have the best of both worlds, better articulation vs. ride quality - but is this normal or perhaps a symptom of a different problem ?
Thank you - Matt
