Reset Rear Axle Location After Raising Your Body On Frame Toyota Or Lexus
Lifting a body on frame platform like the FJ Cruiser, 4Runner, or Lexus GX shifts the rear axle laterally off center, causing uneven tire wear and off center steering feel. This Whiteline KPR184 heavy duty adjustable rear panhard rod resets axle location and corrects wheel alignment on raised applications, using low compliance bushings to minimize noise, vibration, and harshness.

- Corrects wheel alignment shifted by increased ride height
- Low compliance bushings minimize NVH while maximizing longevity

Do I need this panhard rod if my vehicle is at stock height?This rod is designed to correct axle offset caused by a lift, so it is most beneficial on vehicles that have been raised from stock ride height.
What does off car adjustable mean?The panhard rod length is set and locked before installation rather than adjusted while installed on the vehicle.
