They look to be 25mm, havent measured them though.. are our rods solid though? I would of thought they may of been hollow tubing, I just read the fitting instructions and if they are 1inch and solid then this will be Perfect! as the other ones that you posted previously can only be adjusted off the car by turning the end im guessing.Quote:

That was my thinking though. Get a spare pair. I've retained unmolested height sensors and shocks so the lift kit can be removed if required/desired.
Here's the reply from the ebay vendor selling the panhard rod turnbuckles:
hi sean,
Yes please check your rod diameter to confirm the size. Its either 1" (25.4) or 1-1/8" (28.6). We only have these to suit 1" rods at the moment.
Yep, you're right, it doesn't matter if your rod is solid or hollow, it will work anyway.
Etc etc.
They will do combined postage. I can get a pair of panhard rods for $60 each. Would have to swap over the bushes, or get some spares -0 but they're not expensive.
Looks like a go'er - providing the diameter checks out fine.
This is sounding very promising! I didn't get a chance this morning to climb under the car with the vernier calliper. Let's hope Land Rover stuck to a standard size for this one :D:angel:

And of course for the next question. The anti roll bar drop links. Is it worthwhile extending them? The difference being that the actual bar is a slightly steeper angle at each height - thereby reducing its flex.
I guess disconnects (as sold once upon a time I understand) would be the ideal.
Ahhh, the joys of modifying cars ;)

I have done a quick ring around, $22 each for the panhard rods front and rear. It was all looking good until I measured the diameter. 30mm :mad:. I thought we were on a winner then :(.
Gary
I'll see if the guy selling the turnbuckles can get or produce them at 30mm. Is it bang on 30mm.
At 30mm dia they'd have to be hollow. Therefore getting them threaded with an appropriately sized turnbuckle seems like the way to go. Fine thread with locking nuts.
Who will be the first to crack one open. :confused:
