Adjustable Panhard rod modification~

After setting up the exhaust, and feel the power coming back into mango i had a test drive together with Ah Wei (12) and instantly he found out that mango was turning himself during acceleration(right) and deceleration(left). 

First i though was my caster arm's bushing wasn't good. But after changing it, the problem still exist. So i call up Uncle Choi and get some opinion from him. And he ask me to check if my axle was slanting to the left. 

And BINGO~ it does! Mango's axle is slanting 15mm to the left! After looking around, i decided to make a adjustable length panhard rod out from mango's original rod with camry's adjustable rod. 
mango's original panhard rod.
camry's rear arm with toe adjuster
hybrid panhard rod ^.^
This is something i insert between two rod's inner tube before i joint them together, to make sure that they joint nicely and strong
original rubber bushing compare to camry's steel bearing bushing.
both end welded
clean joint
painted in GOLD~  :P hohoho~
installed and good to go! ^.^ with the new steel bearing design of the connector, mango's rear did feel stiffer during cornering compare to original rod. which will sway a bit during exit-ing corners. plus it's must for anyone who planing to lowered their rear-axle car, to align your axle correctly.
