Hi
is there any visible way to check to see if a panhard rod bush had bit the bullet??
only asking cos my truck (gu wagon) 3 inch lift, still has some wobble in the front and iv replaced everything but them!The rods are about 12 months old and havnt seen all that much action

cheers

If thats all thats left. Then may as well replace them. As there pretty cheap from Nissan.

they will be cracked or completely torn up, easy to spot, but unlikely after 12 months if they where reasonable to begin with.

it could be them i had a set last six months looked ok from out side but when put a pinch bar on it for leverage it moved around 5mm overall left to right
if there is any oil leaks near them they wont last long at all especialy rubber i run urathan now much better for panards i think 2 years from last set and still going strong

as for wobbles when you say you did everything else what have you done??
king pins?
wheel bearings?
discs?
control arm bushes?
shockie bushes?
tyres?
tie rod ends on front and rear drag link?

I have had the death wobbles 3 times in 4 years on my gq once was panard bush then tyres last time was tie rod ends.

king pins will do it for shore if warn
warped discs will aslo but not a lot you'll fill it when you brake
shock mounts will allow the front to float finding anything loose
somethings to think about any way

aren't the pins that center and sit in the bearings top and bottom of your swivel hub bearings called king pins????

Yes and the bearings are sometimes called Kingpin bearings although usually swivel bearings.
