Panhard bar hardware
While I am lowering my truck with 3” springs I am replacing my panhard bar with an adjustable one. When I took the stock one off I put the washers and nuts back on so I wouldn’t lose them However I don’t trust the PO of this truck to have the correct parts. Should there be flat washers on each side of the bar’s bushings?

Mine had big flat washers on both sides with a lock washer also.

Re: Panhard bar hardware
There was one on the frame side but none on the diff side. Both had lock washers. Off to find some grade 8 washers, thanks.

Re: Panhard bar hardware
Be sure to install everything properly. If not your handling will be terrible above 45-50mph. WES educated me on this with my truck.

Re: Panhard bar hardware
Research says the torque on those nuts and bolt is 135 lb ft. And the u-bolts are 145 lb ft.
