Default SLP Panhard Rod

I can't tell from the picture. Does anyone know if this is a tubular or a "stock" style rod?

Stock bar with harder bushings. A 1LE bar.

SLP also had a stock bar with a metal strip welded in to box it along with harder bushings.
I would just skip this and get a good bar with rod ends and be done with it. I wasted my money on a poly one and now need to replace it as the poly has too much flex in it.

Yeah, I've seen those boxed arms before. I would just weld some plate onto my own before I wasted time buying one. The problem is the eurothane bushings. I want to use rubber bushings. I won't use rod ends either because they transfer way too much vibration into the body.

Dependent on quality of rod ends and proper maintnenance, you should have neglible problems with vibration.

I've never heard anybody say that before. What rod ends did you use? Maybe they were a cheap unit. I should have mentioned to get only high quality rod-ended bars. There should be no vibrations transfered.

At the very least, get poly. The rubber just deflects too much.

To be more accurate... increased "road noise" is what I meant.

I know what you mean. It is sometimes refered to as NVH which stands for:
Noise
Vibration
Harshness

Rod-ended LCA's are known to transmit NVH in the cabin, but due to the minimal loads on the PHR under normal conditions, they just don't contribute to the cabin noise.
