Thread: panhard bar with quickchange

Tweet

This is just a quick sketch of an idea. The lines down the center of the "tongue" represent a stiffener made out of some 1/8" or 3/16" flat steel. Use a Heim end on the bracket, and a urethane 4-bar end on the frame.

Jack,
A short thread highjack !!

I'm not going to get into the panhard vs watts discussion - I've used both - with sucess and have my opinions.

My question is what program are you using for the drawings you do? I'm looking for a reasonably priced program to do an occasional part layout but don't need an Auto Cad level.

Thanks

It's AUTOCAD.

I was afraid that was what you were going to say . Looks like I need to spend some time in a search for an alternative.

Thanks for the response.

"Keep in mind that the panhard bar does not have to be a straight piece of tubing."

Exactly right. The bar itself could be bent up like a pretzel to clear other components, so long as the mounting points are level at ride height and the bar itself is constructed of material of sufficient strength.

im gonna order the speedway pinion mounted bracket and see what follows , im thinking if i offset it like suggested it will give me a little more . but i see a single panhard bar in my future for some reason .
