SuperPro Panhard Rod: Jeep Wrangler 1997-2006

SuperPro Panhard Rod

1997–2006 Jeep Wrangler

TRC1198

Overview:

The SuperPro Panhard Rod is a critical suspension component designed to center the axle on live axle vehicles like the Jeep Wrangler (1997–2006). This adjustable track bar ensures precise axle alignment, which is essential for maintaining optimal drivability, handling, and tire wear. Over time, factory rubber bushings wear out, causing axle movement and sloppy steering response. SuperPro’s upgraded polyurethane bushings replace these soft OEM components, restoring suspension precision and improving overall vehicle control.

Ideal for Jeep Wrangler owners who demand reliable performance both on and off-road, this heavy-duty adjustable Panhard rod allows for easy ride height adjustments while maintaining proper axle centering. Whether you’re lifting your Jeep or simply replacing worn parts, this SuperPro solution enhances suspension stability and extends tire life.

Key Features:

Engineered for durability and performance, the SuperPro Panhard Rod offers the following benefits:

• Heavy-duty adjustable design for precise axle centering and alignment tuning
• Integrated polyurethane bushings that outperform OEM rubber in durability and responsiveness
• Reduces axle deflection and unwanted movement for improved steering feel and vehicle control
• Minimizes irregular and excessive tire wear by maintaining proper suspension geometry
• Designed to withstand the increased stresses of lifted vehicles and larger wheels/tires
• Maintains OEM levels of noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) for comfortable daily driving
• Developed with nearly 50 years of suspension expertise and tested in harsh Australian terrain
• Simple adjustment mechanism to accommodate changes in ride height without compromising alignment

Construction & Design:

The SuperPro Panhard Rod is constructed from high-strength steel for maximum durability and resistance to bending or fatigue under demanding conditions. Its polyurethane bushings are precision-engineered to provide superior wear resistance and reduce deflection compared to traditional rubber bushings. This material choice ensures long-lasting performance even when subjected to the increased loads from larger tires and lifted suspensions common on Jeep Wranglers.

Attention to detail in the design ensures that the rod delivers consistent axle positioning while maintaining ride comfort and isolating road noise. The adjustable feature allows for fine-tuning during installation or after suspension modifications, making it a versatile upgrade for both stock and modified vehicles.

Installation & Fitment:

The SuperPro Panhard Rod is a direct-fit replacement for Jeep Wrangler models from 1997 through 2006. Installation is straightforward with basic hand tools and does not require welding or frame modifications. The adjustable length allows installers to easily re-center the axle after suspension lifts or ride height changes, ensuring proper alignment and suspension geometry.

This part is compatible with both stock and lifted Jeep Wranglers, making it an excellent choice for off-road enthusiasts and daily drivers alike. Proper installation restores precise axle control, improving handling and reducing tire wear.
