Re: How can I be so stupid? Nah, not stupid... just an honest mistake. As far as the harshness and the noise, swapping the rod around might help a bit, but a lot of that is unavoidable; you're taking "play" out of the suspension, so the vibration/noise that the soft, rubber factory bushings were absorbing gets transferred to the body of the car. It's that whole TANSTAAFL (there ain't no such thing as a free lunch) principle.
In any event, post up after you swap the rod around and let us know what kind of difference it makes.

How can I be so stupid? I have a poly/heim G2 panhard bar in the back. My rear suspension has seemed to be kinda harsh and noisy to me. Well, according to the LG Motorsports website, I have my panhard rod on backwards! Meaning the heim joint is on the passenger side instead of the driver side. Could this be causing my ride comfort to suffer? I gotta go fix that and feel stupid some more. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
