Panhard rods center the live axle and play a critical role in suspension geometry and alignment. Any change in ride height, whether from a lift kit or leveling kit, throws the factory bar length out of spec and pulls the axle off center. The TRC1185 gives you the adjustability to re-center the axle and correct the alignment, while its integrated polyurethane bushing replaces the soft factory rubber bushing that wears quickly under the added stress of larger tires and lifted suspensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy duty adjustable design re-centers the axle after a lift or leveling kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated SuperPro polyurethane bushing replaces the soft OEM rubber bushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces deflection and movement for sharper steering response and reduced tire wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt to handle the added stress of larger wheels, tires, and off-road use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetains OEM levels of noise and harshness isolation while improving durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBacked by nearly five decades of SuperPro suspension bushing development\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eYear Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMake\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTrim\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2020-2023\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJeep\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGladiator\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSport\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2020-2023\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJeep\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGladiator\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSport S\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2020-2023\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJeep\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGladiator\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2021-2023\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJeep\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGladiator\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWillys\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2020-2023\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJeep\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGladiator\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMojave\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2020-2023\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJeep\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGladiator\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRubicon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuperPro\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMPN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTRC1185\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSPRTRC1185\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUPC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot published by manufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePosition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRear axle, adjustable Panhard rod \/ track bar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBushing Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuperPro polyurethane\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdjustability\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThreaded, adjustable length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer limited warranty against defects\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x SuperPro TRC1185 adjustable Panhard rod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated polyurethane bushings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallation instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout SuperPro\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuperPro has engineered performance suspension components since 1972, specializing in polyurethane bushings and suspension hardware designed to improve handling, durability, and control while maintaining daily drivability.

Raising or lowering ride height changes the geometry of the factory fixed-length Panhard rod, which pulls the axle off center. An adjustable rod like the TRC1185 lets you correct that offset and restore proper alignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the polyurethane bushing improve over the factory rubber bushing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe polyurethane bushing resists deflection and wear far better than the factory rubber bushing, which improves steering response, reduces uneven tire wear, and holds up longer under the added stress of larger tires and off-road driving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWill this part work with a stock ride height Gladiator?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, though the adjustability feature is most valuable on lifted or leveled trucks. Even at stock height, the upgraded bushing improves durability and reduces play compared to the factory rubber bushing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a direct bolt-on replacement?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. It uses the factory mounting locations on the Jeep Gladiator JT and does not require any drilling, cutting, or additional modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this affect ride quality or introduce noise?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. SuperPro engineers its polyurethane bushings to retain OEM levels of noise and harshness isolation while delivering improved durability and handling precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I know if my Panhard rod needs replacing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommon signs include off-center ride height, wandering or vague steering, uneven tire wear, and a clunking noise from the rear suspension over bumps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCan this be installed with basic hand tools?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
