I want to find a part that allows you to adjust the length of a panhard rod. I have a rod but can't find the parts and don't know the name and I can find them but only as part of a complete adjustable panhard rod. The are basically a double ended bolt in the middle with both left and right handed threads and two nuts both thread types again that weld into a cut in half panhard rod, throw in a couple of lock nuts and that's it.

Help what are they called and where can I get them?

cheers Pete

I've always known them as 'turnbuckle bolts/jack screws'.

That looks as I'd imagine it to be.

The other option I guess would be threaded rose joints at one or both ends.

Bottle screws (aka turnbuckles) used on yacht rigging.

All shapes & sizes, from any yacht chandlers
