mattyrides07 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 ... the reason for my pull? I was reading that the earlier models use a Panhard drop down bracket to level out the 5th control arm. I looked and mine is at an angle like theirs were before the bracket install. Anyone done this? Know where to get one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaMountianbiker Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 It does center the axle. When you lift it ; the axle will be more to the driver (I think ?) side. usually with only 2" lifts it's not that bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyrides07 Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 I was hoping this would be the cause for why my truck pulls to the right... "Dream like you'll live forever, but live like you'll die today." -James Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pathfounder Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 The panhard rod should be parallel to the axle. If it's on an angle, then it has moved the axle laterally, which can change the angle of the axle to the body. Fancier setups use Watts linkages instead; they don't have this problem to the same extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattyrides07 Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watt%27s_linkage Super cool! I'm thinking that's going to be expensive though... I need a cheap way to lower it to see if it will correct the steering.
