    With mine the way I bought it, there is a crush tube in one bush and not the other. The one without the crushtube goes on the diff, and in this position the bend is at the diff end of the bar.

    Hope that helps.

    = Fail :confused:

    The ends are correct, but I believe the bend is upside down? don't suppose it really matters if it clears everything, you only have to remove one end and twist it to switch it over.

    isn't that one upside down?
    had a look at mine and its the other way up eg. bend facing down on the passenger side and adjustable bit on the drivers side

    sticker upside down? don't think so

    i see your running adjustable swaybars, worth the money you reckon?

    i'd say that he put the swaybars and the panhard in at the same time!

    changing the way up the bend in the rod is will change your rear roll centre, it changes the level where the panhard rod intersects the diff. for road use you may not even be able to tell the difference. play around with it and see if you can feel the change
    We were using mine as a tuning aid untill the adjustable watts link went in.
