My panhard is tweaked on the left end, someone trying to tow the car from being stuck, probably.
I know there are aftermarket tubular adjustables available, with choice of rod ends: Heim joints or poly-bushed.
I'm going to leave the right end alone for now, do a spherical rod end on the left, box the thing, then worry about a poly bushing later.
This is mostly a test if it can be done by just anyone, and if it can be affordable. Pics tomorrow.

I goofed on the thread title.

Not boxed yet, but still under $20.

Thought of doing exactly that but still learning to weld so wouldn't trust my work. Where did you get the adjustable end?

Looks like a tractor supply top link

Exactly. No concern about strength, but it needs to be sleeved to match the bolt, or drill the bracket for a larger bolt. Haven't decided yet.

I could be mistaken, but I'm thinking I should turn this thing around. Should transfer several ounces from unsprung to sprung. Maybe not enough to make any real difference. Can't hurt to try.

i boxed mine years ago with some bedframe angle that i found in the trash. i just stitch welded it here and there cause i didnt want to warp it too bad. i like your idea with the rod end.

Thanks!
I'm thinking a little boxing of the cross brace right above it can't hurt, shouldn't add more than a pound.
