Bad Bushing in panhard bar?

BDS, ReadyLift, Smaxx... You name it, we know about it here.

I'm confused on the benefit of a adjustable one. All I can tell from reading the product websites is that it is either for racing or lowering...

So by adjustable is that meaning the "twist to adjust" kind?

Yes. Both lowered and lifted trucks push the axle out to the passenger's side.

So does the massive one had any good reviews yet? I was told it was over priced, but I don't know really anything about panhard bars. Or the arms that they make for that matter.

Just installed the massive panhard bar this past weekend. Seems to be of good quality very beefy and powder coat finish looks great also a breeze to center rear axle. Just swapped in the massive and gave it a few turns. Before installing it my axle was kicked over to the passenger side 1".

So it has a pretty good chance of not "un-turning" itself?

no each side is threaded opposite from each other and it also has locking nuts so no chance of it coming loose on you.
