Panhard
Bar Installation
By Karl Schluter
-Low Zep
To locate
the diff, preventing sideways movement.
This is a worthwhile
modification if you are serious for all out handling and have already installed
performance bushes etc.
The
triangle frame is made up of 50mm box section welded to clamps that slip over
both formed chassis rails. These are drilled and fitted with grade 8 bolts with
nyloc nuts. The bar itself, I used 25mm round tubing with right hand and left
hand threaded rod ends so to make the bar adjustable for length. (Once set, the
length is made permanent with lock nuts on the rod ends). The rod end (near
"B") is mounted inside the box section in double shear for strength.
Then weld a
mount on the diffs other side spring pad. At rest, the bars total length should
be adjusted at the rod ends and the distance from the ground to the bar ends
should be equal at both A and B with the car level. I find this set up allows
more room for a twin exhaust system etc.
