Panhard rod mount

[Hally]

G'day guy's got a bit of a problem I want to get new springs & shocks for the front of my defender, at the moment I have OME shocks which are Farked & I dont want another set because they are crap so I'm after a larger bore shock the problem being I run airbag front diff housing out of a rangie so the shocks are in front of the spring which is 2-3mm away from the panhard/steering drop arm mount. The question I am asking do the range rovers run a different mount/setup or is there any custom jobs out there or could I make one myself & move it forward a few mm?

Have you looked at the Bilsteins? You wont fade them, can valve them to buggery and they're in a more compact housing compared to the big bore twin shell stuff.

Why don't u think about going back to the way it should be mounted? I have all the parts you need. We are a ridepro suspension stockist, which are one of the largest bore shocks available, 41 mm, gas hydraulic. They have been used in many comp vehicles, including my own discovery...

Give me a call on 03 9762 2600 or mail@allranges4wdservices.
Cheers, Jamie

to do a custom panhard you normally need to use a nissan steering box or similar which is mounted on the outside of the rail.

Thanks for the reply's
Slunnie I have thought about it You dont happen to know of a good dealer ?

allranges4wd thanks for your opinion though I wont convert it back to normal as it wont work the shock mounts will foul with the supercharger that's the reason doing that conversion in the first place those ride pro shocks are just to big for my aplication unless I make a new panhard rod mount. Does the steering box require that drop arm that links with the mount? & if so what does it do?

Andrew I was thinking about that option & haven't ruled it out yet
