Well, I had an extra panhard rod laying around so I decided to do a little project. I bought a cheap Heim joint (I'll probably get a better one later), a jamb nut, a tube adapter and some high misalignment spacers ($40 total) to make the rod adjustable. First I made sort of a jig by welding two bolts to a piece of sheet:

Then I cut the end of the panhard rod:

Then I got some tubing and mocked it all up:

Then I welded it:

And then ground down my ugly welds:

Now I just need to paint it!

I am going to put this on my Disco and pull the stock one off and make another adjustable rod out of it. Anyway, just thought I would share!
