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?

On a Sierra that is usually the drag link bent,
no idea if Jimmy is same

[joel]

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.

[DAB]

get a wheel elignment dont on it n tell them to have a look while they got it on the alignment machine
you need it done either way or u might ware ur tyres out

[joel]

just had one done a fortnight ago when i got the new tires, i will be annoyed if ts out this far already after one wheeling trip.
will go over it and post the results tomorrow afternoon.
thanks for the help fellas.

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.

[joel]

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.

[Travis]

Yea those factory panhards are pretty weak, I bent mind a fair bit too

Spot the problem, Jimny that was out with us at Morgan a while ago.

[joel]

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.
