    i got a set of road safe ball joint there basically the cheap one that you can get from bursons. Ball joints look to be decent quality though theyre the sealed type not regreasable

    are panhard rods same as a panhard bar? I have a VP seies 2, not the IRS, i had suspenion check done at pedders and the the idiot who did it didnt speak english all that well and had hand writing like a doctor!! But what i'm assuming is the panhard..? bar at the back is very loose. It takes a little while for the car to shift wieght properly and straighten up coming out of tight bends and rouabouts, and the either day it was pooring rain and i speed up to make a light going round a bend and the back end just steppped right out mid way through the corner and i almost lost it as i was anticipating it to happen. Should i get this replaced ASAP, or can i just drive cautiously for a while? The guy at pedders quoted me $90, but said he could supply it for $50-

    Takes bugger all to change. Its up to you if it worth $40 of your time to do it. Its the rod just behind the axle that goes from the passenger side on the axle to drivers side connected to the body

    Get the two piece nolathane bushes, so much easier!!!

    Just did mine for a roady along with the link bar bushes if your just doing the pan hard bushes get the nolathane bushes that come in two pieces so you don't have to press them in/out like the old one piece rubber ones and it only takes about 20/30 mins including jacking up time!:thumbsup:
