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.
Key Features
- Heavy duty adjustable panhard rod built for serious off road use
- Resets rear axle lateral location on raised or lifted vehicles
- Corrects wheel alignment shifted by increased ride height
- Low compliance bushings minimize NVH while maximizing longevity
- Off car adjustable design for accurate length setting before installation
- KPR184 is purpose built for the FJ Cruiser, 4Runner, and Lexus GX rear suspension

FAQ
What is the KPR184?The KPR184 is a Whiteline heavy duty adjustable rear panhard rod for the FJ Cruiser, 4Runner, and Lexus GX that resets rear axle location and corrects alignment on raised applications.
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.

Does this kit include mounting hardware?The kit includes the panhard rod with low compliance bushings at each end for mounting to the factory locations.
Can I install this panhard rod myself?Yes, most installers with basic hand tools can complete this installation in a home garage, though proper length setting is important.
Will this improve tire wear after a lift?Yes, correcting rear axle lateral location helps restore proper alignment geometry, which reduces uneven tire wear caused by an offset axle.
Is this rod adjustable after installation?No, this rod is off car adjustable, meaning the length is set and locked in place before it is installed on the vehicle.
