What is this?????

[yukonchief]

So I ordered a Mcgaughys lowering kit to level out the Yukon. So when the kit got here I installed it no problem then a day later another box showed up from the same company. I’m not sure what this is used for or why they sent it to me. Anybody have an idea?

Weld-on adjustable Panhard bar kit, looks to be a universal design. Was it included in your lowering kit or did they send it by accident? Your Yukon has a factory non-adjustable Panhard and a direct-replacement adjustable one is all that's necessary, unless there's something in the way on the 2015+ that requires welding on new mounts.

I bought the kit off eBay and it did not show it. I’m guessing they sent it by mistake. Mine was just a 2” rear drop all I installed was the springs and the shock relocation brackets. This came a day later.

Yeah, it was a mistake. A 2" drop doesn't warrant an adjustable Panhard. If they don't want it back and you or a friend has no use for it, Craigslist or FB Market it. Or maybe it'll work for a NNBS or NBS SUV and someone here on the forum would buy it. You'd just need to measure the minimum and maximum adjustment lengths and width of the bushing ends for someone to determine compatibility.

If it were me, I'd compare it to the OEM setup just to see if it would be simple to bolt in. Your rear end shouldn't be off center much at all from the minimal drop. But if it'll fit, it'll let you center it exactly. You may even feel improved lateral stability from the poly bushings. Of course, you may also get more suspension noises from it.

Thanks for the clarification now what to do.......

It does look adjustable, hmm...

I'm out in the shop so I decided I'd entertain this some more in case it applies to anyone. The Panhard on my '08 looks to be right at 33.75" on the bolt hole centers and the bushing width is 2". If that one Jessie has is close to this and no longer than this at it's shortest, and it's 2" or less (can use large washers to shim) wide, then it's be a bolt-on upgrade. It looks to be a stout, good quality piece.

@yukonchief, you mind posting up some measurements?

And a free upgrade at that!

Here’s what I got let me know if you need me to Re-Measure...... also what is with the brackets that came with this bar?

The brackets are for DIY weld-on mounts on your frame or axle.
Dang, that's a short bar.
