2021-2026 Ford F-150 Raptor 5-Link Rear Axle Panhard Bar Mount - Stock Position, Weld-On
Description
Description
Weld-on panhard bar mount for the Gen 3 five link rear axle, cut to the stock position so it retains the factory panhard geometry.
The panhard bar is the only part holding the rear axle centered side to side, and where its axle end sits decides how the axle behaves through the whole stroke. This bracket puts that point exactly where Ford put it — which is what you want for a repair, or for a conversion that should drive like a Gen 3.
Laser cut from .250" mild steel, MIG welded, shipped raw.
Stock Position, And Why That Matters
There are two panhard geometries in the Gen 3 world and they are not interchangeable.
Stock position — this mount
Keeps the factory pick-up point, so the truck runs a stock-length panhard bar and behaves the way a Gen 3 is supposed to. This is what you want for a repair, or for converting an older axle to standard Gen 3 geometry.
Long travel position — a different part
Long travel moves the panhard mounting points at both ends and needs the 41.5" bar. That is the long travel axle mount, not this one. Fitting the wrong one gives you a bar that will not reach.
What It Is For
Converting an older axle to Gen 3 five link
A Gen 1 or Gen 2 Raptor axle housing has no Gen 3 panhard pick-up. This puts one where the geometry needs it.
Repairing a damaged factory mount
The panhard mount takes every bit of lateral load in the rear of the truck. When one tears, cutting it off and welding this on is far cheaper than a new housing.
Construction & Fitment
- .250" (1/4") mild steel, laser cut, MIG welded
- Raw steel finish — no coating to burn off at the weld
- Cut to the factory Gen 3 panhard position
Built to the Gen 3 and Gen 3.5 Ford F-150 Raptor five link axle, model years 2021 through 2026 including the Raptor R, and for adapting a Gen 1 or Gen 2 Raptor axle housing to that geometry.
Installation
Welds directly to the axle housing. Qualified fabricator only. Position is the whole point of this part — a panhard mount welded off-location will pull the axle off centre and no amount of adjustment fixes it.
We do axle work in-house in Mesa, Arizona. Install guides are at Install Instructions.
Questions
Will this work with a long travel rear?
No. Long travel relocates the panhard mounts at both ends — use the long travel axle mount and the 41.5" bar for that.
Which panhard bar does it take?
Any stock-position Gen 3 bar — the factory one, our fixed billet bar, or our adjustable bars.
Does it come coated?
No, raw steel, so you can weld clean and finish it to match the rest of the axle.
Where is it made?
Laser cut, welded and finished in-house at our facility in Mesa, Arizona, USA.
