Adjustable Panhard Rods

Yes, when you "pull" the diff across it pushes the drop arm across (to the right(or turns the wheels to the left if the steering wheel remains centred)) so the drag link need to be adjusted. The track rod stays fixed to maintain toe.

I got my terminology wrong

. It was the drag link I changed (the one that has the steering damper attached to it).

Your forgiven gary haha, although I get confused between those 2 rods on the front.. which one is the track rod?

Garry I'm a bit relieved I'm not the only one who entertains the neighbours like that in the driveway.

Was your drivers side front on the bumpstop? It looks like it's got more to go!

No, still had a bit more to go at the front

. The back would have been pretty much on it's limit.

Track rod adjusts track, well the track on one side of the wheel which altered the toe. The other is the drag link (remembered by "it drags all the other bits around"). It adjusts steering centre.

On a D2 there's a stop on the drop arm which holds the steering box at straight ahead when aligned and you screw a bolt through it. Then adjust track rod for toe, then drag link for "parallels" making the wheels straight in relation to the vehicle.

For those without the welding skills to make your own adjustable panhard rods, Whiteline Suspension may be an option.

Here's a front rod on eBay:

I assume they do a rear too.
