Default need some advice on panhard rods

So, a couple years ago I was up at tellico (RIP) and my rover (bone stock at the time) got in an argument with some rocks and lost, and it ended up with a pretty heavy bend in the panhard rod.
After a couple years of a cockeyed steering wheel and not knowing how fast im going until im going 90mph+ (which is not possible) , I think its time to fix the problem. And ive been hunting around the web looking for a decent adjustable replacement. Rovertym has a nice one, some companies over seas have really cool orange ones. And prices are all over the place
So, if anyone knows of one that is really worth getting, let me know

good to know, Ive been looking at them. I was also looking at their under drive for my transfer case, but its a little too much $$$.

Also, I put my lift on a couple weeks ago (2" terrafirma MD and 245/75 Kumho KL71's) and didnt really consider the caster change. I like terrafirmas corrected control arm design the most, I looked into Rovertym's and didnt really care for their cut and re-weld arms. Any better ideas than the terrafimas?

Im running the Terrafirma arms also they just seem a little lite weight compared to QT an Rovertym or Equippe. Nothing wrong with them I just think the metal is just a little thinner gauge.

Good to know, I'm half way considering just building some myself when i get a chance if i cant find something that suites me... Ultimately i want to have the rover built strong enough to run SCORE class 3, theres a couple guys out there running RR Classics, i think the disco could hold its own

Id have these on mine but my wallet says no way lol. Lucky8 Llc. - Take the road less traveled...

In my opinion they are the best quality and strength available. I would put the Rovertym on mine (lot stronger then the TF) but my inspection mechanic wont pass it being that they are welded. I have also heard of guys with a huge press (5-600 ton) tweaking the factory arms to desired angles.

If your only wanting a 3" lift a set of corected swivel ***** would get the steering where it should be and the pinion will still be at a good angle if you use a double cardan joint at the transfer case.
