Couple of questions...
Hey guy's, I just have a couple of questions regarding some threads of the past that I've been reading into. I've done a search and havent really come up with any real answers.
1) Panhard drop - bracket-.... What is the panhard? drop? bracket? what does it do?
2) Birfields.... I know they are one of the major components of the axle, the middle part? should I look into getting some stronger ones?
3) SAWS .... Ok, I first thought that was the short name for sway-aways, but now I know diferently. Shock absorbers? coils? Why are they so sought after?
So yeah, some may say, "He dont know shat!!" but hey, I've learned so much from this forum and I will always want to learn more!! The one and only downfall to yotatech is the fact that my wallet is always empty now :pat: So yeah any advise or info would be awesome. thx guys, and gals, Cheers, Lee

1. A longer panhard rod. While feasible, the panhard rod should be close to horizontal when the vehicle is rest. By using a longer one, it will run at an angle.
2. Relocate one of the brackets. The one on the frame is usually the easiest to relocate or drop such that you regain your suspension geometry and keep the rod as close to horizontal as possible.
