I've got the "race" G2 lower control arms and panhard bar to install. Poly bushings one end, rod ends on the other. Does the rod end go on the car or axle?

TIA

Rod ends go to axle but it only matters from a convenience for adjusting perspective.

On the LCA, I put the rod ends on the axle. I figured less noise transfer direct to the body that way. The poly ends are attached to the car. I figured the poly ends would not transfer as much noise. Same with the panhard rod.

You really want to keep that autocross title don't you!!

Thanks Dan. Consistent advise from everywhere ... that creates confidence. For some reason LG instructions on the panhard bar place the rod end on the body.

It woud be nice, but I'm not counting on it. What I'm really trying to do is minimize axle-hop on the dragstrip.

The LCA's and relo brackets should do that!! I have ver little axle hop on mine since I did the RLCA. Now I need shocks and springs before Bowling Green.
