Rear Suspension/Panhard Rod Question

Rear Suspension/Panhard Rod Question
I installed my BMR panhard rod last weekend. I noticed there is another rod/bar right above the panhard rod. Looks to be attached on one end to the panhard rod bracket as well. What does this rod/bar do? Tracking bar? Reason i am curious is because mine looks to be bent! Didnt know if this was something that would need changing or not? Thanks Kevin

Oh ok thanks for the info.
Yes that is a good question. The main reason i replaced the panhard rod in the first place was because it was bent as well.
It wasnt until i replaced it and noticed the "upper" panhard rod, and it was bent too. Eventhough not as bad as the lower.
So where would i find the upper panhard rod at? All i have seen as far as aftermarket has been the lower panhard rod.
Thanks Kevin

Hmmm.... that car must have smacked a curb sideways...
Anyway, yes, the OE unit may be the only one out there (not sure). It's a brace for the bracket for the actual panhard bar.

But since your lower was bent you may have some different bent spot on upper. But its where I descibed your prob. OK

I respectfully disagree with sleeperZragtop, there is an aftermarket upper panhard bar brace available, here is the sight:

Hope this helps you out in some way.

Thank you for disagreeing with me, I never knew that...but I'm glad...I always wanted an aftermarket UPHB...it will go good with the rest of my goodies

Umm supposed to be bent huh? Well i will have to look at it again to see exactly where it was bent at. I will be installing LCA this week, i will take a better look to see where it is bent. Thanks Kevin
