I have ORA adjustable panhards at the moment and I think they are a large reason for the wobble I get at 65kph.
The mounts seem to be a imperial hole with a metric bolt and the little bit of movement is enough, when combined with abused tyres, to get a wobble happening.

What panhards are people using, and are you happy with them.

I have the same thing happening shep... However through investigation to get new joints, I've learned that they're m12 thread and hole ie. the hole is the same as the thread size. I reckon they use poor quality joints. Will let you know thisarvo if it fixes itself with the new joints

Just buy some M12 L & R hand heim joint, a length of thick wall 20NB pipe and make your own. Mine cost me a grand total of $19 to make.

EDIT: Only a good idea if you can suitably weld, if your not sure, don't do it.

i went to a TD panhard in the front, haven't put thee rear one in yet
there isnot much play in the thread and the locknut is massive. compared to the JB one i had its much better. i still get some shakes but nothing compared to what it was. now the diff isnt swinging left to right, its just he out of round/balance tyres.

the loose locking of the JB panhard and the soft bushes were to blame, as the TD one has solid polly bushes(that once again need trimming)

i have an ORA 4"lift in my 98 jimny ran 32" and 235/75 tyres really never had any wobbling i had more wobbling when i had her a stock standard without a wheel alignment.

i know that doesn't really help but are you sure its the pan arm rods that are making the wobble??

I replaced my heim joints yesterday along with bigger locking nuts... My vioelnt wobble is gone

^^^ the left hand thread joint that I took out was quite loose and had a lot if play... The new one is a much more snug fit in the thread so I think that's where the problem was.

it blew my mind how much vibration the panhard actually stops. monley actually got out of the drivers seat and i drove.
that said, after smashing some really screwy road with too much tyre pressure i have 'more' wobble then i did last week, so beting somthing has come loose, or a shim is crushed...
