BMR Suspension PHR004 - Manual

PANHARD ROD RELOCATION KIT
Part # PHR004
Approximate Install time – 2 hours
REQUIRED TOOLS:
18mm and 21mm wrench
7mm socket and ratchet
15mm socket and ratchet
Hydraulic jack and stands (optional if not using service lift)
INSTALLATION:
1. Lift vehicle with suspension loaded. This may be done using a 4 post service lift or by
backing the car up onto ramps. NOTE: if using jack stands, it is also important to support the
frame before removing the panhard rod.
2. On 98 and newer models, cut the factory zip tie that holds the emergency brake cable to the
drivers side of the panhard rod.
3. Using an 18 and a 21mm wrench, remove the factory panhard rod. Using the same
wrenches, remove the passenger side bolt on the upper panhard rod support.
4. Using a 7mm socket, remove the 3 sheet metal screws that attach the panhard rod support to
the upper heat shield.
5. Loosen the three 15mm bolts on the drivers’ side and remove the OE panhard rod support.
You might need to raise body of the car slightly to avoid interference issues with the springs
when removing the bolts.
6. The factory panhard bolt is shouldered on one side making the mounting holes in the vehicle
2 different sizes. You will need to drill the rear most mounting hole to fit the supplied 14mm
bolts.
7. Using the supplied bolts and spacer, install the passenger side relocation bracket as shown in
the image below and torque to 133 ft-lbs.
8. One bracket installs on the inside of the factory
mount and the other on the outside. The spacer
installs in the upper hole.
9. Using the OE drivers’ side bolts, install the BMR
upper panhard rod support.
10. Reinstall the panhard rod. If using an aftermarket
panhard rod, re-lube the polyurethane bushings.
11. On 98 and newer models, it is important to zip
tie the drivers side emergency brake cable to the
panhard rod. Not doing this will produce an
audible “thunk” while driving.
