After inspecting the rear brakes on my jimny I was looking underneath and I found out the rear panhard rod is bent and all the bushes are knackered here is the pic of the damage



So I have ordered a second hand panhard rod and radius arm with good bushes
I have also got a bit of welding to do before I put it through a mot. Then it's fingers crossed
This very cheap car I got is turning out to be a nightmare

No I can't really ;) , it was £60 for the panhard rod and arms, it was a cat c (little shunt up the rear) a few years ago till he fixed it and put in back on the road, then he started using it on the farm, but apparently it still needs the vic test :unsure: plus mot then i can get the log book back and tax it. I am going to take it to a car wash with my ramps before the mot and clean the underside,

Yeah i know that's why I'm jet washing it before the mot then it will be clean and dry for my mate to test it, but before that I got to borrow a welder to fill some holes ;)
