Rear axle movement JK

[linksjeep]

Can someone shed some light. Just noticed the other day looking from the back of my JK that the left side rear wheel sits in from the wheel arch a good 50 mm than the right it never used to. I have had it lifted 2'' and have 33'' inch rubbers on 16 '' steely's. Not sure how long it has been like this as there is no problem driving the car (feels the same as it always has). Im not the most mechanical bloke in the world but i have had a good look under and around the wheel and rear axle everything seems to be in the right spots. Any suggestions would be great cheers Craig

are the jks running a 5 link rear? the panhard rod is what locates the axle housing in the central position, sounds like u may need an adjustable one, unless just the bushes are shagged. Someone with jeep knowledge might be able to shed some light

yeh its panhard rod.

need an adjustable panhard rod, and make it a bit longer. or you can lift the panhard braket up off the axle (there's a few kits which allow you to do this) providing you bump stop it enough so the bracket doesnt punch a hole in the floorpan.

or just buy a panhard drop bracket....heaps cheaper and does a better job.

Except on a JK you need to space up the bumpstops as drop brackets dent the shock.

And I personally would build up the mount on the axle end. Dropping the chassis bracket increases the leverage on the factory welds. This may not be a good thing over time.
