cms binding after VP panhard install

[truebrit]

Never had any servo problems before, (only had the Wraith a few weeks.) but as soon as I installed the Vanquish chassis mounted servo and panhard kit my servo is binding and stalling bad on left turn. I can't see anything that's touching and I did remember to remove one of the upper links.

I've tried adjusting the length of the panhard bar and the steering links, I've also tried fitting an angled rod end for the lower steering to make it as smooth as possible but with no change.

Also, if I lift the front of the car off the ground the steering will turn to the left, so three lifts and the steering is at full left turn, whether the car is powered on or not. I have just installed g-transition shocks in droop also, so maybe that's the problem, but then surely if the shocks were sprung it would do the opposite. Maybe the droop setup and a panhard together?

I only have a 15kg savox servo, but it worked fine before. Maybe the panhard puts more pressure on the steering?

Did you remove an upper link? 5 links don't work...

Yes mate, the same one they show in the instruction vid.

I will try the other side tomorrow.

that one rod looks too short... you shouldnt see the threaded ends sticking out at all.

Your panhard bar needs to be on the same plane as your steering link. Move your panhard bar down on the axel till the two are parallel. That should help

And you should only have an upper link on the passenger side. Not the drivers side.

^^^what he said, lol^^^
your two links need to be parallel to each other. right now the resemble a triangle, they need to look like a parallelogram. You could try adding a longer screw and spacer to raise your drag link at the knuckle or lower your panhard bar at the axle to make them the same angle. That should help. Right now with your links at different angles when the suspension cycles, the drag link and panhard are moving on two separate plains which should be where you get the binding

Thanks to everyone, adjusted both bars no more problems.

Awesome. Glad that worked out for you!
