Whiteline KPR025 Adj Panhard Rod

[CMF_Jon (2)]

Hi,
After ordering one of these to suit my k11, I proceeded to attempt to fit it to the car. To my surprise I found it didnt fit correctly. The problem was not fitting nicely on the lower side (drivers side). the Bush on the panhard was waay too big and slopped around on the mount. (the other side of the bar which attaches to the upper passenger side fitted perfectly with the bolt).
Has anyone else experienced this?

not back to front?

nup, not back to front as far as I believe.
pics coming

arrows here show where the bush doesnt fit (original panhard fits nice and tight)
other side which bolts on is fine.

 

[CMF_fred]

yeah, that's right, strange. From memory its meant to be a tight fit but not that tight you can't put a bolt through.

No it was a silver one like in the above picture, it was bent where the nut is welded on at the end, thats what happens when you get stuff made in China!! I have never seen the blue panhard rod in that picture before, where they a older one before the silver ones??
