CKD0301 CEN KAOS CNC ALUMINUM PANHARD UPPER MOUNT SILVER ANODIZED DL-SERIES

CKD0301 KAOS CNC ALUMINUM PANHARD UPPER MOUNT (SILVER ANODIZED) DL-SERIES

The CEN Racing CKD0301 KAOS CNC Aluminum Panhard Upper Mount is a silver-anodized suspension/linkage mounting component for CEN DL-Series trucks. CEN lists CKD0301 in its KAOS DL-Series F-450 SD upgrade catalog as the dedicated upper mounting point for the Panhard bar system.

WHAT THE PANHARD UPPER MOUNT DOES

On a solid-axle suspension using a Panhard bar, the chassis-side mount establishes one of the bar’s pivot points and therefore helps locate the axle laterally as the suspension moves. Mount position and Panhard-bar geometry can influence axle side-shift through suspension travel, so correct installation and alignment are important for predictable steering and suspension behavior.

ADJUSTABLE MOUNTING POSITIONS

AMain Hobbies and HobbyTown list CKD0301 as providing three mounting positions for Panhard-bar setup adjustment on the CEN F-450. Because CEN’s currently indexed public catalog does not publish the positional dimensions or a geometry chart, GASHEAD RC identifies the three-position detail as dealer-listed setup information rather than a manufacturer-published dimensional specification.

CNC ALUMINUM CONSTRUCTION

CEN identifies CKD0301 as a CNC aluminum component with a silver-anodized finish. GASHEAD RC does not claim a specific increase in rigidity, steering precision, durability or weight reduction because CEN does not publish quantified engineering comparison data for this mount.

COMPATIBILITY

CEN lists CKD0301 in the KAOS DL-Series F-450 SD Upgrade Parts catalog. AMain, HobbyTown, Vortex and other established CEN dealers identify it specifically for the CEN Racing F-450. Verify the exact chassis, axle, Panhard bar and related mount configuration before installation, especially on trucks with modified suspension links, lift kits, axle brackets or altered ride height.

INSTALLATION & SETUP NOTES

• Install the mount squarely against its chassis mounting surface and verify all hardware seats correctly.
• Confirm the Panhard bar pivots freely without binding at full suspension compression and extension.
• Check clearance between the Panhard bar, steering linkage, axle housing and nearby chassis components.
• If changing mounting position, recheck axle centering and steering-linkage relationship at normal ride height.
• Cycle the suspension through its usable travel after installation and verify there is no contact or abnormal lateral preload.
• Recheck mounting hardware after the first runs.

PACKAGE CONTENTS

AMain and HobbyTown list the package as containing one aluminum upper Panhard mount. CEN’s currently indexed catalog does not provide a complete hardware inventory, so GASHEAD RC does not assume additional screws, spacers, rod ends or linkage components beyond what is supplied in the manufacturer’s package.

CUSTOMER-REPORTED EXPERIENCE

CEN’s current catalog shows 4 customer reviews for CKD0301. Customer comments are treated as user experience only and are not used as manufacturer-certified geometry, strength or durability data.

MANUFACTURER DATA NOT PUBLISHED

CEN’s current public catalog does not publish mounting-hole spacing, dimensional differences between mounting positions, aluminum alloy grade, anodizing specification, mount thickness, total weight, recommended fastener torque or a quantified suspension-geometry comparison with the standard mount. Those values are intentionally not estimated or invented.

Manufacturer designation, CNC-aluminum construction, silver-anodized finish, DL-Series / F-450 SD application, current catalog price and review count were checked against CEN Racing. Three-position adjustment, single-mount package detail and the two exact-product images were corroborated through established CEN dealers.
