I need an adjustable panhard rod for the rear of my NJ Paj as it has about 4" of lift now (new Patrol springs) and the diff is noticeably sitting so one side causing some ordinary uni angles and a slight vibration.
Has anyone sourced an aftermarket adjustable panhard rod for one of these or know of any other vehicles that have a similar length Panhard which i could chase an adjustable one from? VL commodore comes to mind.

Mine was an aftermarket Patrol unit, supplied & fitted by 4wd Systems. If it wasn't a direct bolt-in job, it wasn't a difficult fitment.

I also used a custom one that was made for a GQ.
The bushes were the right size. Just adjust it to the correct length.

Thanks boys. Measured up a GQ one today and there is only 10mm difference in length. Will order an adjustable one tomorrow.

I scored a standard size GQ one from work. I had to re bush it as the patrol bushes are 14mm and 24mm where as the Paj eyes are 16mm. I just used some nylon patrol bushes from the smaller end and made up crush tubes to fit. With that extra 10 to 15mm of length it has bought the diff back to almost perfect centre which has also fixed the vibration i had as the drive shaft is re-aligned.
