Tough Dog adjustable rear panhard rod (part no. TDPR-003) to suit the Toyota LandCruiser 100 Series, 1998–2007.
Lift a 100 Series and the rear axle doesn't stay where it was. The factory panhard rod is a fixed length, so as the body comes up, the rod drags the axle across to one side. You'll usually pick it as one rear tyre sitting closer to the guard than the other, and the back of the truck tracking slightly off-centre behind the front. The higher the lift, the worse it gets – most people fit an adjustable rod from around 50mm of lift.
This rod goes straight into the standard mounting points in place of the factory item. Tough Dog bend theirs from a single solid bar for strength, and the adjustable design covers a broad range of vehicle heights – you set the length so the axle sits back in the middle of the vehicle, then lock it off.
It's a bolt-in job for a competent home mechanic or any workshop. One thing that matters: set the final length with the vehicle on its wheels at ride height, not on a hoist with the axle hanging, because the panhard geometry changes as the suspension droops. Check your tail shaft and brake lines while you're under there – standard practice after any lift.
Sorting out the rest of the 100 Series at the same time? We stock the full Tough Dog range for it, including Foam Cell front shocks, Ralph 53mm big-bore shocks and heavy-duty torsion bars for the IFS front end, or browse all suspension components.
Doing the whole vehicle at once? We also stock the matching rear Coil Springs and rear Shock Absorbers for the Toyota LandCruiser 100 Series.

As a rule of thumb: from around 50mm of lift the axle offset becomes noticeable – one tyre sits closer to its guard and the vehicle tracks slightly off-centre. Below that it's optional; above it, recentring the axle is part of doing the lift properly. Set the final length with the vehicle on its wheels at ride height.
