Return PolicyFactory suspensions, including leaf spring setups and triangulated four links provide some lateral control of the rear axle housing, but this control often comes at the cost of binding or suspension limitations. When upgrading these suspensions to such setups as a parallel multi-link with coilovers for additional control of your rear axle’s placement and the minimization of pinion angle change under acceleration, you will find that these systems do not have a way to control lateral axle movement when cornering. That is where the Panhard bar comes into play.
The Panhard bar has been used in various suspension designs for over 100 years and is quite simple in design and function. The Panhard bar mounts between the chassis and the rear axle assembly, allowing the axle freedom to move up and down through normal suspension articulation without the axle moving laterally. Factory implementation of a Panhard bar has been used by all the major automotive manufacturers over the years, but these are fixed length bars where no Panhard bar adjustment can be made. An aftermarket universal Panhard bar kit is adjustable, which aids in centering the axle in the body. If there is any detriment to a Panhard bar (besides being a tad difficult to route tailpipes around) is that as the axle moves up and down the Panhard bar causes the axle to move in a small arc, changing the axle location laterally as the suspension moves. This is only a real concern if you have very tight tire to quarter panel gaps or extremely low ride height.
Starting with a 22-1/2-inch long and 7/8-inch diameter DOM steel tube with .156-inch wall thickness for our Panhard rod, we thread the steel tube for a pair of 5/8-18 rod ends with left hand and right hand threads. This allows Panhard bar adjustment right on the vehicle with only having to loosen the jam nuts for adjustment. The included weld-on frame bracket is made from 5/16-inch thick A36 steel plate, as is the axle mounting bracket, which uses slightly thicker 3/8-inch steel. We include attaching hardware for the Panhard bar’s rod ends to the frame and axle brackets along with full instructions. No matter what type of parallel link rear suspension system you’re planning, our universal Panhard bar kit will help keep your rear axle properly located.

Customers appreciate the product for its high quality, robust build, and practicality. It's easy to install, with many users being able to do so without professional help. The kit is complete and looks good, with some customers even buying it again for other projects. The panhard bar is found to fit well, solving sway problems for many users. Users find it value for money, as it could not be fabricated independently for a similar price. Its adjustability has been lauded as an advantage for custom applications. The product is considered reliable, sturdy, and well constructed. It's majorly used on old models and street rod builds. The product stands above similar items due to its durability and affordability.

Perfect Kit for custom application
I swapped a gmc (leaf spring) rear into a c-10 chevy truck which didnt have the stock chevy pan-hard stud cast into the differential housing. This kit allowed me to use the stock frame mount (with slight modification to the mount) and attach the other end on the far side of the differential (welded plate included in kit). The bar's length was an advantage as well as its adjustability (threaded ends makes it like a turnbuckle). Worked great for me.

I probably would not buy again threads are loose
When I opened the box all looked good. I put the left hand brim in it fit ok. Tried to put right hand brim on the bar and would not fit because the end of the bar was damaged, not in shipping. After a lot of thought I cut the end of the bar off 1/2" and cleaned up the thread but those threads are loose I will continue to work on the bar to use it.

The distance from my frame to the center of the rear end is only 13". Do you offer a tube that will work, or will I have to build my own? I was thinking of using #910354. Do you sell the weld on brackets and bolts from kit #91649022, or could I possibly use a 1/2" tube and 1/2" heims, bolts, and brockets instead? Thanks for your help!

does it matter which frame rail left or right that you mount the rod to? I would like to mount by rod from left to the right side of the axle but in your directions u show it going from right frame rail to left side of the axle does it make a difference?
