Panhard rod---which end to frame
I have a single adjustable panhard bar, poly/rod end. Does it make a difference which end attaches to the body vs the axle?
The reason I am asking is because UMI shows their rod end on the axle side, whereas my Founders rod is labeled for the rod end to go the body.

Physically it won't matter. But when you go to put a wrench on the tightening nut & you have it on the body side? You'll be pulling it off & reversing it. Can't fit a wrench on the tightening nut. Save yourself the headache & put it on the axle end.

Ahh. I see now. As I was putting it on, I thought to myself that the nut would be impossible to reach. I guess the Founders sticker kinda threw me.

Alright, it's on correctly. When I tighten the jam nut, the rod end twists. Does it matter if the rod end is straight or can it be tilted?
