LXi Chassis Parrt Number List

[davidbrady]

Back in 2004 when I bought my LXi I took it to the factory for service, (yes... remember those days??? ). Wendell suggested I replace the panhard rod on the drive axle with a solid bar. He said he's seen too many of the hollow bars break on LXi's. I imagine it's the extra weight that the LXi carries. With Al's bus, the addition of the Goldwing may have contributed significantly to the load bore by the drive axle further contributing to a panhard rod failure. It's essentially a two-force member responding to only tension and compression; the more material there the better.
