BMR Adjustable Panhard Rod PHR006 for Mustang 2005–2014 – Black Hammertone

The BMR PHR006 adjustable Panhard Rod replaces the factory Panhard rod on the Ford Mustang S197 and allows the rear axle to be precisely centred laterally underneath the vehicle.

An adjustable Panhard rod is particularly important on a lowered Mustang. Lowering the vehicle changes the suspension geometry, causing the fixed-length factory Panhard rod to shift the rear axle sideways from its original position. The BMR PHR006 allows this offset to be corrected and the axle to be properly centred underneath the body.

Strongly recommended when lowering your Mustang

When lowering springs or coilovers are installed on an S197 Mustang, the lateral position of the rear axle should also be checked. Even a relatively moderate reduction in ride height can result in the rear axle no longer sitting perfectly centred underneath the vehicle.

This can become visible when one rear wheel sits further out in the wheel arch than the other. The effect can be particularly noticeable with wide wheel and tyre combinations.

The PHR006 features an on-car centre adjuster, allowing the length of the Panhard rod to be changed while it is installed. This makes it possible to precisely centre the rear axle underneath the body.

Stronger than the factory Panhard rod

The factory Panhard rod uses a relatively simple stamped-steel construction with soft rubber bushings. Under high loads, both the factory rod and its bushings can deflect.

BMR manufactures the PHR006 from 1.25-inch DOM steel tubing with a 0.120-inch wall thickness. It also features TIG-welded chrome-moly tube adapters and a heavy-duty CNC-machined centre adjuster manufactured from 4130 chrome-moly steel.

95-durometer polyurethane bushings

BMR uses greasable 95-durometer polyurethane bushings at both mounting points. They provide less deflection under load than the softer factory rubber bushings, helping to locate the rear axle more precisely.

The bushings feature internal lubrication flutes designed to distribute grease evenly around the inner sleeve and towards the outer thrust surfaces.
