Fitting Adjustable Panhard Rods to a GU

[MD4x4]

Hey Guys,

Got hold of some adjustable panhard rods that are marketed for GQ/GU.

Problem is the gusset on the chassis front and rear is much wider than the knuckle and bush on the rod. When fitted there is a gap of approx 20mm. I am sure this will lead to movement and flogging out of the bush if fitted.

What have you guys done to solve this issue. Is there a bush or spacer that needs to be purchased or made to stop the movement back and forth along the retaining bolts?

Regards

you must have a panhard with the big bearing on the chassis end on your car. 20mm sounds big tho, it should be more like a 10mm gap.
I've never tried to shim the series 1 panhard to a series 3 on chassis might be ok.
the panhard should have the same outside diameter both ends if they are early series GU.

Measure the distance between faces of the bush on the original panhard and it is 17mm bigger than the adjustable.
