A mate noticed my rear diff off centre on the LC 80. Recently had new shockies, springs and BFG's put on. It looks as though the rear wheels are both about an inch to the right when looking at it from the rear. The front wheels look fine and in centre.
I'm now wondering if I should get an adjustable panhard rod put in. The vehicle drives
well and I don't feel it wanting to crab alond when driving.
Does anyone know if it is absolutely necessary to get the adjustable rod put in? Will it cause any long term damage to components if I don't?
Thanks in advance.

The lifted springs and spacer will put it off about what you state.
Usually on a two inch lift you don't need an adjustable panhard but over that it is highly advisable.
If the panhard is not bent and the bushes are OK I would suggest an adjustable one.
Up to 2 inch lift you can see the rear off centre a bit but the front should be as
well, a bit harder to spot though but it will be off.
I'm in
Sydney if you want to take a drive and let me have a bo peep at it.
Just let me know.
