Hi,
I recently purchased a JDM 2008 Suzuki Jimny RHD with the intent of using it for my hunting vehicle. Last trip however the, I believe , front Panhard bar broke. I'm not sure its been lifted but have an assumpition it was in the past based on springs and stainless panhard bars front and back.
Can any of the members here recommend a good parts source for heavy duty replacements.
I live on the west coast of Canada.
Thanks for your help,
Russ

I wouldn't know of anyone local to you but that bar is adjustable which factory ones are not so I would agree it's probably part of a lift kit. I don't know what the shipping would be but it might be worth looking in Japan rather than Europe?

You don't say where it broke, is it the rod ends or the rod itself
To be honest its a simple piece of bar with a hoop at each end and it would definitely be more cost effective for you to take the bar and ends to a local engineering shop or blacksmith and ask them to make another. If yours was already "adjusted" correctly for your car then they only need to reproduce the measured length and not make the new one adjustable.

Like Martin said above
Or just get measurements off tube other end and weld it to threads on broken end
Keeping it adjustable
