This is the genuine Nissan chassis mount for the rear panhard rod, a direct-fit replacement for the Nissan Patrol Y61 GU wagon models built from February 2000 onwards. Located on the vehicle's chassis, this mount serves as the crucial attachment point for the rear panhard rod, which is responsible for keeping the rear axle correctly centered under your vehicle and controlling lateral movement.
As a critical suspension component, this mount is subject to immense stress and can become worn, cracked, or damaged from constant off-road use, impacts, or corrosion. A faulty or failing mount can lead to poor on-road handling, excessive rear axle movement, uneven tyre wear, and distinct clunking noises from the rear suspension, especially when cornering or driving over bumps.
Replacement is a moderate workshop job that requires the vehicle to be safely lifted and supported on chassis stands, allowing the axle to be correctly positioned during installation. While it's a direct replacement, seized bolts may require extra effort. It is a good time to inspect the panhard rod bushings and the mounting hardware, as these may also require replacement. The panhard rod itself should also be checked for damage or bending.
