PHB Poly/Poly - adjustible? My aftermarket PHB (poly/rod-adj) causes the rear to be noisy. I beleive it is the "rod" end that makes the noise.
Anyway I see different combinations including poly/rod-adj. rod/rod, adj poly/poly-no adj. etc.
I don't see anyone who makes a poly/poly rod with adjustible length, however. I notice this is also true with rear LCAs. Wouldn't this be more functional and less noisy?
Is this a cost consideration or has someone tried this and it does not work well?

Spohn has poly/poly adjustable panhard rods and control arms. They show them right on their website.
I've run their poly/poly adjustable panhard for years, but will be switching to a rod/rod since this car is no longer my daily driver and performance is more important to me.

Most everybody makes poly/poly adjustable
But are you sure that you have everything tight? Do you have your rod ends at the axle and not on the body? If you have everything installed correctly and if your rod ends are good ones, you shouldn't have any more noise than you would if you had poly at both ends.
Poly/poly is not a good way to go. In fact it can be downright dangerous particularly on LCA's

Hello,
We always recommend a poly/rod in this situation. The poly end of the panhard bar bolts to the chassis of the vehicle and is designed to absorb the roughness before it enters the cab of the vehicle. The rod end then bolts to the rear end of the vehicle to help prevent bind and allow the suspension to articulate correctly. We do not get any noise complaints on this item.
Take a look at the link and if you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Well so long as people knew that it isnt ideal for handling. The problem is that people don't know that and then drive their car thinking its set up for handling and they may get themselves in a hairy situation.
