VS L67 Ute, VX SS
Hi guys, I have a lowered VS Ute (Super Low Springs)
I need to get an Adjustable Pan Hard Rod, so my question is Whats the difference between a HD one and a standard adjustable one?
The diff in price is like $70 compared to $250
I understand a HD one would be larger and stronger but for what reason?
Does it stop flexing or something?

The only time I’ve ever seen a panhard rod break is after hitting a gutter.
No need for heavy duty.

Bought cars with expensive nice looking thicker adjustable panhards...fitted $70 suzukisuper generic adjustable item to few cars just to centre diff/wheels.

Maybe if cars were tracked budget item might bend or chew out bushes but for street cars it seems like visual appearance is main difference.

BTW it’s panhard rod designed by the car maker Panhard many years ago.
