2018 11 5 nbsp 0183 32 Anyone here done a 4 link on their A body If so I d sure like to see some pics Especially of cars with full exhaust systems cause I d like to retain tailpipes Thinking about doing it on my Cuda over the winter Haven t decided which would be better easier to do parallel 4 link with panhard bar or triangulated 4 link
2001 6 27 nbsp 0183 32 Spidertrax panhard is costly but throwing money at a generic made track bar is simply throwing it away You want the panhard to exactly match the length of your drag link Otherwise it will bind and cause some really freaky things to happen The mounting system is also a key part of the Spidertrax kit A tube with two rod ends is pretty

2016 9 19 nbsp 0183 32 A panhard rod should be considered mandatory on all four bar systems and recommended on all cross steer systems The bar is normally mounted to the frame on the driver s side and to the axle batwing on the passenger side It should run parallel to the drag link so as not to induce bump steer

2009 10 24 nbsp 0183 32 I have built and raced road race and circle track cars and found that puting a panhard bar on a leaf spring car did not have any appreciable difference given we I using poly bushings This is with slicks if it is a street car with street tires the tires would be the weak link as far as handling

2010 11 28 nbsp 0183 32 Yeah if the stock triangulated 4 link worked perfectly then a panhard rod would be useless BUT since our beautiful stock suspension is stamped steel there is a lot of sway give under hard cornering racing I have a few buddies that installed panhard setups on their A B bodies and it definitely shows on the autocross the Watts link is sick
2019 12 6 nbsp 0183 32 Universal parallel 4 links are therefore sometimes easier to install because the main link bars utilize a one piece frame mount instead of two

2011 2 2 nbsp 0183 32 The idea behind the panhard bar is to locate the axle The triangulated upper links do the same thing What they do is limit the side to side travel of the axle while the suspension is cycling As stated a lot of Jeeps that have 4 link setups run trackbars because the links are parallel and allow side to side quot slop quot
