A Panhard rod is a suspension link that both locates the rear axle housing laterally and controls side-to-side movement. Factory S197 Mustang Panhard rods are made from weak U-shaped stamped steel with soft rubber bushings that allow excessive deflection under load. BMR Suspension's Panhard rod is made of 1.25-inch, 0.120-inch wall DOM tubing for unrivaled strength. This panhard rod features greasable, 95-durometer bushings, which add a solid, more responsive feel over the stock rubber bushings. BMR's bushings are internally fluted, which allows grease to evenly coat the inner sleeve, keeping grease in the bushing under high compression loads. These flutes also direct grease to the outer edge of the bushing, keeping the thrust surface lubricated. This efficient lubrication ensures quiet, reliable operation over the life of the bushings.
