Panhard Rod/Radius Rods

2001-09-03 by Don Lattimer

Hi all,

Just finished adjusting my panhard rod to center my axle to the 
frame.  It was off noticeably.  It seemed OK before except for the 
looks of it.  Maybe I'll notice the difference in cornering.

While under the car, I looked at the 4 trailing links (radius rods)
that hold the rear axle.  Only one is adjustable.  It says in the 
build manual to "adjust to suit".  Suit who or what??  Does any one 
know what the proper adjustment is?  I kinda understand the theory 
but adjusting just one doesn't make sense at this point.  Any physics 
experts or suspension pros out there?
