Dowser Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) Just to Clarify, I suggested Panhard Bar because when you lift the rear end, and the Panhard bar is no longer level, you usually have a harder time lining it back up without exerting some force to line it up, (ie raising the axle to the body, compressing the suspension) Once its back on and sitting unlevel, there is some force at work here since the suspension is working against the only link that is keeping it compressed. the link on the body side if removed, would relieve some of that pressure. Yes the Panhard will effect this slightly if it is not set up to its proper geometry. Edited January 10, 2012 by Dowser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nefarious Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 okay everyone here is saying that they lean to the RIGHT. that the side that is lower is on the passenger side and the side that is higher is on the driver side... on my truck it is the opposite. it is leaning to the LEFT not the right... everyone keeps saying the truck will lean to the RIGHT if its the panhard keeping me up... ?

Dowser Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 It's easy enough to test. Undo the Panhard Mount on the Body side, and loosen the axle side so it wont be under a ton of stress when you try to lower it out. Jounce the vehicle to settle everything then remeasure. Might take you 30 minutes to an hour. If its not that, then no harm done right? Just tryind process of elimination. Thats a hell of a lot cheaper then buying new springs, and less time consuming then trying to adjust the ones in there right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
