Panhard bar bolt

[LazyRabbit]

so i'm replacing the panhard bar and ran into an issue. The bolt can come out on the right hand side because it's hitting the wheel assembly/axle. I don't want to cut it but also not take apart half of the brackets to lower that on bracket that holds the panhard bolt.

I may be missing something.

jack the truck up by the frame and let the suspension droop . when you reinstall put he bolt in the other way

Looks like a previous mechanic screwed you when they installed the panhard rod. You can always cut the bolt head off and drive it out with a punch and put it back together correctly with a new bolt.

Napalm00 is correct. A little bit of droop and you'll be OK. At least that worked on mine (RHD).
