    Default VP tire rubbing problem

    hey guys, ive got a VP S Pack with VY SS 17" mags and the rear tires rub on the guards. Ive read up a bit in other posts on here and some mention a panhard rod. im not exactly sure what that is... . i should probably mention that im disabled, so that stops me from getting under the car to check it out

    everyone is saying that you should have an adjustable one. because S Pack's use FE2 suspension which lowers it a tiny bit, i would have thought that they would have an adjustable panhard rod when they come out of the factory.

    can anyone clue me in on it all? thanks

    Stick your head under the rear end of the car. That bar going from the diff to the body of the car sorta parallel 2 the diff ,is the panhard rod-u can get adjustable 1's of these 2 pull the diff across (lengthen/shorten rod) 2 get the tyre away from the inner guard n equalise the way the rear wheels sit in the rear arches

    Standard suspension setups dont use an adjustable panhard rod, is your car lowered with aftermarket springs? If you havnt got your car lowered, look into getting your guards rolled, that would be my first thought, an adjustable panhard rod is something that is needed when the car is lowered generally past FE2 height as the diff moves left and the tyre rubs.

    I had the same problem prior to lowering my car, tyres rubbed, then i got the guards rolled and now no problem

    Good luck!
