putting gq diffs under a hilux and have mounted the rear panhard according to factory nisssan measurements but it seems to me that it is too steep an angle with 2" coils in it (about 20 degrees) and will push the diff sideways on compression.
has anyone got pics of theirs with a lift in?
should i remake the mount to bring it closer to level? this would make it a very low hanging braket though.
any help or advise appreciated.
thanks in advance

The theoretical ideal angle of the panhard when sitting static is horizontal; so as to minimise bump steer... this is not always possible, and in your case may look crap. But depending on your spring rate and ultimately your wheel up travel it might be best to have the mount slightly above the axle mount. I run a 4" lift in a GQ and the mount to the chassis is about 3-4'' above the mount on the diff housing...amd i still get a little bump steer.
I wouldnt be concerned with objects hitting the panhard if its close to horizontal because your wheels and axle have to clear this object firsy - offering protection to the panhard.
If your going to this effort i would definately consider an A-Frame rear end or triangulated 4 bar linkage either of which eliminate the panhard and give symetrical geometry on each side of your vehicle which is a huge benefit when selecting shock and spring lengths.

want to do tri 4 but unsure whether it would pass engineers.
that and i havent done a tri 4 before and kinda unsure where to start.
do the lower links stay in stock position and the uppers are triangulated?
