panhard rod

[tomwest]

any advice on how to remove the panhard rod would be greatly appreciated. ive managed to remove the top bolt, and the lower nut, but naturally the bush is siezed onto the stud. has anyone done this job with any success, or did you end up butchering the lower bush?

Hi Tom. I sprayed that lower bush for a week prior to removal with wd40 to make it easier. I had to still cut the rod off and all the rubber exposing the metal bush. I grabbed it then with mole grips and it freed up with a bit of twisting. Unfortunately I don't seem to recall anyone getting them off without a bit of jiggery pokery. Good luck.
