A Panhard rod is a suspension link that both locates the lateral position of the rear axle housing and controls side-to-side movement. Factory GM F-Body Panhard rods are made from weak U-shaped stamped steel with soft rubber bushings that allow excessive deflection under load. BMR Suspension’s PHR002 Panhard rod is made 1.25-inch, 0.120-inch wall DOM tubing with TIG-welded chrome-moly tube adapters. The PHR002 features BMR’s CNC-machined center adjuster, which is made from 4130 chrome-moly with rolled threads. Greasable, 95-durometer bushings add a solid, more responsive feel over the stock rubber bushings. BMR’s bushings are internally fluted, which allows grease to evenly coat the inner sleeve, keeping grease in the bushing under high compression loads. These flutes also direct grease to the outer edge of the bushing, keeping the thrust surface lubricated. This efficient lubrication ensures quiet, reliable operation over the life of the bushings. BMR Suspension designed the PHR002 to work well for street performance, drag race, and road race applications. The heavy-duty construction eliminated the deflection seen in stamped-steel Panhard rods. Other Panhard rods on the market include rubber bushings that will deflect under heavy loads. The 95-durometer polyurethane bushings of the PHR002 reduce bushing deflection, giving you much-improved, repeatable handling characteristics on the street, starting line, or in aggressive corners. The chrome-moly center adjuster makes the PHR002 on-car adjustable, so all adjustments can be made without removing the Panhard rod. This gives you all the adjustability you need for great handling without huge increases in NVH. When performance is a must, rely on BMR Suspension! BMR Suspension’s PHR002 on-car-adjustable Panhard rod is available in black hammertone and red powdercoat for long-lasting good looks. Installation time is about 1 hour. Proudly made in the U.S.A. BMR Suspension offers several Panhard rod options for Third- and Fourth-Gen GM F-Body vehicles. The PHR001 is a non-adjustable Panhard rod with polyurethane bushings on both sides. The product is recommended when low cost is the primary consideration. The PHR002 is on-car adjustable and polyurethane bushings on both sides. The product is the most popular F-Body Panhard rod. The PHR003 is double adjustable and includes rod ends on both sides. The product is recommended for maximum performance. The PHR010 is on-car adjustable and includes a polyurethane bushing on one side and a rod end on the other. This product is a good compromise between the PHR002 and PHR003. The PHR001, PHR002, and PHR003 are all available in a lightweight, chrome-moly version (MPHR001, MPHR002, and MPHR003).
