Found an issue with my panhard rod. It was mounted too low. When shocks were fully closed, the panhard rod was hitting the steering link while the panhard rod chassis mount was hitting the steering link too. To eliminate this I needed to mount the panhard rod chassis mount higher and further back, more parallel to the steering link that it was. Made a new panhard rod chassis mount plate for the panhard rod chassis mount to attach to.

This is the panhard rod chassis mount plate from the other side

As you can see in the picture, all the links are cleared from one another while the shocks are both closed.

… and here you can see the shocks open and its all good to go  

Very pleased with this little homemade mod
