fixed v adjustable panhard rods
Ok so after the top bush in the front panhard rod totally disintegrated yesterday I can't keep driving around with screwdrivers jammed in there! Now I have a 3 inch lift and was always planning on replacing the panhards, just not so soon. So what are people thoughts on adjustable vs fixed, bare in mind there is a $190 difference between the two from superior. Thanks

I have an adjustable superior rod, I guess I chose the adjustable over a fixed because I can get it right to what I have, and if I change set up, I can just make it longer. I think they are good from 2"-6". Kind of a buy it once deal

I run a 3" lift on the GUIV and still run the factory panards. The body is centred and I see no need to upgrade. See if you can find a second hand panard or just replace the bush.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

That was my other thought. Just replace the bushes.

Same here, no problems (touch wood) in the 6 years I have run it this way.

Well should have just replaced the panhard rods! Yesterday driving up camp rd lcmp I managed to bend the rear panhard into a boomerang. Pushed the rear diff to the drivers side and when the tyre flexed up before I stopped it bent the SH*T out of my freshly cut and chopped rear guard!!!!! NOT HAPPY JAN

I would always lean towards an adjustable (pardon the pun ) as each individual vehicle has its differences and having the adjustment it will suit most setups.
