Whats the Diagonal brace called above the panhard rod and where would I order an aftermarket one. I have aftermarket pan hard rod, Lca's, SFC's, Eibach springs etc. but the one thing I haven't replaced is that diagaonal brace above the pan hard rod and I noticed it was bwnt to Sh%$ when I was putting on a new Exhaust.

 

Axle tie rod brace. Stock panhard rod is call a axle tie rod.

 

I don't think any makes a replacement for it. And the bend in it is normal.

Someone does make a replacement. Eventually after searching you may find the link. But there is a shop that makes stronger replacements for that brace above the PHR.

 

Granatelli used to make a replacement for the upper panhard rod brace, but stopped making them. It is simply a brace for the mounting bracket, and isn't going to see the kinds of loads that the panhard rod sees. Some serious drag racers eliminate the upper brace for weight savings.

If it is bent badly enough, you might consider replacing it, because it might have allowed the mounting point to move.

 

Jordon Musser used to make the brace too, but i have heard 2nd hand that he no longer does.

 

im considering removing mine for a trial period.....
