    When or why do you change F/R panhard and radius arms.

    I have a 3" lift and expected to fit adjustable panards but my car sits perfectly. A panards not required for me, this might not be right for all but I would be surprised.

    So on the list above I note "caster Correction" is required, this can be achieved via caster correction bushes, caster plates, drop boxes or dropped radius arms. All do the same thing, all do it differently, in the order of my list is how effective they are. I am a Big fan of Drop Boxes and have them on both cars mate. BA just fitted Drop boxes last week and can't believe the improvement.

    You will need something and I'd recommend the Drop Boxes mate.

    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.

    The panhard rod and the drag link ulimately should be at the same angle and length and low. As a patrol panhard is not the same length as the drag link, and it is where it is, it is good to have it on the same angle.

    When the axle travels up and down (both wheels not articulation) the panhard and draglink are going to travel on their own radius. When there is a difference in angle the panhard and draglink will travel on a different radius to each other. As the panhard is fixed and the draglink is not. So the the only way the can both move on a seperate radius is for the steering wheel to turn as the axle travels up and down. This is called bump steer.
