Defender 90 300 tdi Panard bushes being munched

Evening all, something to sleep on .. My 90 is destroying these bushes in weeks. Wheel bearings are good and new steering damper and bushes recently and drop arm. Am I missing something and has anyone had this issue and delt with it satisfactorily?

Take some pictures of the panhard in situ and post for us to see...whole front end and closer shots of each end. Panhards don't normally chew themselves unless 1. the bushes are el cheapo' nasties, 2. the rod is under permanent adverse load [which is impossible unless installed incorrectly/wrong rod length]. 3. wrong bushes installed but this would show up with clunking as panhard would be moving around in mounting points...

You mention it's been lifted in your other post but not this one.
Same or different vehicle?
Standard or adjustable phr?

Thanks for your thoughts folks, it is lifted and same 90 that I posted in other forum. I would be guessing at this stage but my guess is not adjustable. I doubt the bushes were wrong as it was faultless to begin with. I've left it with David at Somersham garage where they always have landrovers in. I am wondering about geometry (axle) or replacing the rod completely to eliminate that from the equation. Is everyone happier with standard bushes or are poly's preferable?

Superpro are supposed to be good, just fitted some to my phr, around £26 posted.
I'm not sure, having no experience or wishes to lift, but I think an adjustable one is needed depending on the extent of the lift.

Are you sure the bushes are worn?
Elongated mounting holes, axle casing end and worn bolts give play.
An adjustable phr will have a thread and lock nuts a standard one will just be a solid tube.

Worth checking your power steering box isn't slightly loose on the chassis rail!

The PHR is a fixed one. Adjustable on its way and my guess is the previous enthusiast lifted the 90 and didn't take care of the PHR with the suspension lifted and carried on with the original not designed for the lifted suspension. He didn't do many miles and liked the green lanes so likely didn't notice anything overtly wrong.
