Once you lift a Jimny's suspension, the front axle stops sitting centered under the body - the wheels shift sideways and the steering wheel can sit crooked even on a straight road. That's what a panhard rod corrects, and RAPTOR 4x4's reinforced, adjustable rod gives you more range and durability than the original part.

Single-sided adjustment with a locking nut isn't a random design choice - on rods adjustable at both ends, the threads can work loose over time under load, especially off-road. Here, adjustment happens on one side only and is secured with a lock nut, so once you set the length it doesn't shift on its own while driving. Polyurethane bushings in the eyes, instead of the original's rubber ones, cut down on play and unwanted axle movement under side loads, which translates into more predictable handling once the suspension is lifted.

Who it's for

Built for Jimny JB74 owners who've lifted the suspension 2-4 inches and whose front axle has shifted sideways relative to the body, where the shorter original panhard rod no longer allows proper centering. The adjustable length lets you fine-tune the geometry to your specific lift height.

Fitting and notes

Once fitted, the rod needs its length adjusted so the front axle sits centered under the body, then the locking nut torqued down. Because this part affects suspension geometry and handling, we recommend having it fitted and adjusted at a workshop - at Szekla4x4 we'll set the rod correctly for your specific lift and check it's properly tightened.

Why it's worth it

• Reinforced construction with more strength than the original rod
• Single-sided adjustment with a locking nut - won't work loose while driving
• Red polyurethane bushings included instead of the original's rubber ones
• Dedicated working range for 2 to 4 inch lifts
• Made in Italy by RAPTOR 4x4

We can fit and adjust the rod for your specific lift at the Szekla4x4 workshop - just book it together with your order.

FAQ

What lift range does this panhard rod fit?
The manufacturer specifies a range of 2 to 4 inches of suspension lift.

Are mounting bushings included?
Yes, red polyurethane bushings are included in the kit.

Is the single-sided adjustment durable, or can the rod work loose?
Adjustment happens on one side only and is secured with a locking nut, so the set length doesn't change on its own during use.

Where is this rod made?
In Italy, by manufacturer RAPTOR 4x4.

Does this rod suit a stock-height suspension?
The manufacturer designs it for suspensions lifted 2-4 inches - at stock ride height, the original OEM rod remains the right choice.
