*** WARNING *** Man-A-Fre panhard drop bracket issue

[junior80]

So please call me on it if I have missed the solution here, but is there one?

I was looking at my rear tyres and noted that the back diff sits off centre due to the lifted springs and standard length panhard rod, and thought about making something to raise the lower mount of the panhard to make it more level and would centre the back axle.

Now I read this thread and there is a product from maf but it lowers the upper mount of the panhard but the bolt it comes with is crap.

So, should I buy or make something to level out the panhard rod (which will improve the roll centre of the back axle and re centre the diff under the car) OR just get a longer panhard?

Sorry for the stupid question, i thought I knew what I had to do but now I'm confused.

I have been googling for days and can't find one to buy. Front or rear. Someone know where?

Most manufacturers have switched to adjustable panhards to elevate the drop bracket. You might be able to find someone selling an old one that they never installed or a used one.

Or you could make your own.

So trying to keep the panhard level is a losing battle and not as necessary (or important) as as some people"s posts on this subject seem to imply?

I feel like that is where this is headed.
