REPO1 · 03-13-2005, 01:11 AM

I was just bolting my frame together today, and I noticed that the new adjustable panhard rod setup is already giving me problems. If I let the suspension right down, (no air in bags) the differential won't even get close to going right up into the C-notch. The bracket that is sandwiched between the trailing arm and the diff hits the frame first.

Now I know some of you must have ran into this already. What have you done to fix this? I am assuming that I will need to make a new bracket of some sort.

Do you guys have any pics or ideas I could try?

Thanks!
