Shadex Posted September 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 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?

Des Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 (edited) 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.

Clapped out Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Maybe the previous owner hit a gutter side on (on the passenger side) and bent the chassis? hope this isnt the case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the help so far guys :D Big ups Some panhard rods will have a light bend in them but I'm pretty sure you would be able to tell what a non factory bent one looks like.
