2012 jimny whilst out pig shooting today, i was driving over a large log when i felt somethig "give". anywho, once i was back on the black top, i noticed my steering wheel is pointing at 2 o'clock when going straight, the car still tracks straight and doesnt pull in any direction, had a look at the panhard and tie rods, they look normal, what have i damaged? |

i would say so mate, i was thinking that or tie rod, i guess i will have to get her on the hoist tomorrow and have a proper look, pretty disappointed as it was hardly asking to much of it by negotiating the log. |

If it is drag link, hopefully there's an after market upgrade, or a fix. |

Panhard is bent and twisted. Lucky I have an aftermarket one ready. Didn't take much to stuff the standard one. |

the rear panhard is twisted a bit too, and the suspension is sagging on one corner already, not happy, especially from what i class as normal wheeling. |

his sway bar is still in... lol, yeah mine is really bent and twisted, but its bent on the horizontal axis so it looks normal when i ducked my head under there, but once on the hoist, i got nder it and there is a big bow out in it, its also twisting, the rear panhard is straight, but the piant has peeled off in spirals, suggesting its twisting to. the suspension im not happy with, once funds permit, i will dump it in the bin and just get OME. |
