Relocating panhard rod
I need to drop my panhard rod about 2 inches on the passenger side to make room for dual exhaust. The guy whos doing it says he can make a bracket to lower enough to clear the pipes, but I was wondering if it would mess up my suspension or anything by relocating it.Any help would be great. Thanx

... so long as it locates your differential in the right spot and keeps it there while cornering, doesn't bottom out and has enough lateral movement it should be OK.

If you just drop it straight down, mkae sure you replace the panhard rod with an adjustable version. To reuse the stock one, the bracket would need not be straight down but on an arc.
