I am not sure but, I think I can hear a small amount of noise coming from the rear end of my 2011 after installing a UMI panhard rod. I would not expect that to be the case. Just wondering what you all think. I usually hear it when I am slowing down for a stop light or stop sign. Just a mild bit of sound that I don't recall hearing before I installed the panhard rod. If the music is loud or I am in gear and my Roush axle back is making noise, I can't hear it. It's very faint.

What did you get on your panhard, Poly or rod ends?

Is the PHB adjustable? The adjustment points came a little loose on me once. Made a horrible clanging noise over EVERY bump I hit. Jacked her up, banged around on some parts with a giant crescent wrench until something was making indicating noises. Sure enough...loose adjustment points on my PHB.

If you got rod-ends they are gonna make noise for sure.

Also, if you got an adjustable one, it could be coming loose.

I did get an adjustable one and the jam nuts are not loose, I checked those. This is the UMI 1042 that Strano sells. It has the spherical rod end/polyurethane bushing combination. So, maybe this is normal? I don't mind it as long as it is to be expected.

Yup, it's the rod-end you are most likey hearing. Almost sounds like a loose bolt somewhere, that's just the rod-end articulating. It's even worse with the 1055 like I have which has rod-ends on both sides.

is it possible to get an adjustable panhard bar that doesn't create any noise? this is good to read before purchasing.

So If we get Poly at both ends their should be no noise? Right? I need to get one soon and would like to know before I plunk down the $$.

I have the UPR Pro Street adjustable panhard bar on my car. It has poly bushings at both ends and doesn't make any noise.

I doubt its a new rod end although a defect is always possible. I've had plenty of rod ends on my cars and when new they have been quiet. Now over time....thats a different story. At about 25K they get real annoying.
