without the lower rear shock repositioners your lower shock bushes wont last five minutes , when the jimny is lifted the rear axle is rotated which puts the lower shock bushes at the wrong angle to the bolts through them.

Yes, fit them, measure the position of the axles relative to the chassis (L-R), the idea is to get the axles central to the car. Undo the panhard at the adjusting end, adjust the length, refit, remeasure.

Hello!
I decided to post my question in this topic instead of starting a new one, as it is a simple question.
Question:
Is Jimny's factory front panhard rod completely 100% straight? No bends, curves etc. in any direction? Does anyone happen to know its length?
I am asking this because I found out today that the front panhard rod in my Jimny is slightly bent! I am not certain if that is its factory shape, or if it's the result of a collision which this car had survived while in the possession of its previous owner.
That is why I am asking the question.
