Austin Healey Panhard Rod – Standard | Includes Nuts & Washers

Replace a damaged, bent or heavily corroded rear panhard rod on your Austin Healey BN1 to early BJ8 with this standard replacement. The panhard rod locates the rear axle laterally in relation to the chassis, helping control side-to-side movement during cornering and suspension travel. SUR161 is suited to standard road cars and rear suspension rebuilds where the original-style arrangement is being retained.

How the panhard rod controls rear axle movement

• Standard-specification replacement for the rear panhard rod
• Helps keep the rear axle correctly located relative to the chassis
• Controls lateral axle movement during cornering and suspension travel
• Suitable for standard road-going Austin Healeys
• Compatible with touring and performance polybush options

Which Austin Healey models does it fit?

Why choose the standard panhard rod?

SUR161 is the appropriate choice when replacing the standard rear panhard rod without changing to an uprated suspension arrangement. It retains the original-style method of locating the rear axle and is suitable for routine road use, restoration and rear suspension rebuilds.

Need replacement panhard rod bushes?

SUR161 can be used with the SUR179 Touring Panhard Rod Polybush Kit or the SUR179R Performance Panhard Rod Polybush Kit. If the existing panhard rod remains serviceable and only the bushes require renewal, these kits provide the appropriate replacement bush options.
