FJ CRUISER BAD HANDLING ?

- Does your Toyota FJ cruiser, Landcrusier 4Runner or Prado wander all over the road following a two inch lift. The Panhard rod or bar geometry maybe incorrect. This is the fix for the handling and steering issues created from poor or incorrect rear suspension geometry.

Absolutely correct, an adjustment bar will put the geometry even further out when in motion , you need to start with a level bar.
Thanks, yes unfortunately some seem to still think and adjustable bar is the fix but we know better 🤙🏼
Great video mate, very well explained. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.
Don’t know about that 😂 had a crack!
@@OutbackTouringit all made perfect sense to me!
Definitely a mod you should consider, feel free to check mine out if your in the area mate 🤙🏼
Have you realized your rear axel goes out of alignment on stock height on full droop? This relocation bracket is not solving this behavior at all due to the design of solid axel. It just prevents misalignment to go off further on lifted vehicles. BTW, it is just as effective as the adjustible rod. The only advantage of the bracket mod is for hi-speed offroading where misalignment may lead to unpredicted handling/steering. During on-road driving the suspension typically does not travel to the point you would notice the difference. For the safety reason, I would take adjustible rod over the bracket. You don't want this thing to fall off during highway speeds. You may rollover and kill yourself, or someone else. This may happen due to the unprofessional welding, or simply rusting out welds.
Thanks for the feedback 🤙🏼 all good points!
My understanding of the problem is while an extended panhard bar seems to fix the problem of the off centered axle as a result from suspension lift, the fix only applies when the vehicle is static.
Once things start moving, under dynamic conditions, the problem becomes even worse due to the extend arc of the new extendable rod as it’s location on the chassis and diff housing not changed. The rearend moves exponentially more than it did when it was stock, which results in overall reduced driving performance and predictable handling. Ideally the Panhard bar should be level, which is why the bracket is extended. I appreciate your point of view however.
Personally I trust a welded bracket over an aftermarket rod with a join and two nuts to holding it together. Regardless of how the correction is done (rod or bracket) routine inspection are critical maintenance to any off road vehicle.
I definitely agree with you on welding, it should only be conducted by a professional as it was in my case.
Do adjustable bars not have a safty risk in the threaded bolt breaking?
I don’t trust a bolt in but that’s my personal opinion.

Thanks 🤙🏼
