September 14, 200719 yr Author comment_197931 Jack it up, Take the panard rod out let it back down and see how it looks. But if it was the panard rod.. Wouldn't that be changed when a new diff is put in.. meaning that if hes put other diffs in and its still doing it.. it shouldn't be the diff? Report
September 14, 200719 yr comment_197933 He might have put in the wrong panard rod. Taking it out will tell you weather something is severely bent or the wrong rod. Panard rods don't generally wear out just the bushes flog out so i don't see the point in taking it out when you change a diff other than changing bushes.
