mine has a lean to the drivers side to i was temped to remove panhard rod myself but though after removing sway bay probably not a good idea has anyone else removed theirs?
My panhard rod departed this life about 6 years ago. No problems with its loss.
Assuming it has leaves at the front, its not a problem. In fact, I have never managed to work out why Daihatsu fitted one as standard, because if the boffins there decreed that it needed one on the front, why didnt they fit one to the rear?
Think about it, if you fit lifted springs to your vehicle, specifically the front, the chassis and body is lifted, however, the panhard rod length stays the same. As its attached to the chassis on the drivers side, it is naturally going to pull this side down if any lift is fitted. Hence adjustable panhard rods for other makes with lifted suspension.
As for other makes springs that fit, have a look at Nissan C20 van springs. They are the correct width, and about 80mm longer, so you can get them reset to give pretty big lift. They are also thicker, so will handle fitting to the rear for extra weight carrying, but at a loss of ride comfort, and suspension flex. But thats not a problem if you have diff locks fitted.
