How do I lower the panhard and steering arm angles to remove/reduce bump steer?

Is there a drop pitman arm available?

Do you experience problems with bump steer?

I know some jimny owners put brackets and stuff on to fix bump steer. Bump have never actually read about anyone experiencing it.

Yep I have bump steer. It is caused by the pitman and steering arm angles being to steep.

You could just over turn steering rod from bottom to top. For such mod you need one steering rod end of Mitsubishi Pajero or L200. It has same thread pattern as Jimny's rod ends and bigger cone part. Also you need to modify a bit your left steering knuckle (for RHD and right knuckle for LHD). You need to cut hole for MMC rod end in opposite direction.
Look at photo and you will see.

Both rods are perfectly parallel and almost at level. This Jimny has 4" suspension lift.

Thanks Nicks_jim. The panhard is easy enough to lower however lowering the steering rod and staying road legal is a bit trickier. On my old sierra(samurai) I just used a dropped pitman arm and am hoping that there is one available for a jimny.

Green, that is the result I am after. Nice flat arms, that thing would drive like stock however I can't use the same method to lower the steering arm.
