    Question dose a buggy spring need a panhardrod?

     



    i have just shoved a heap more power into my 23 turtle deck tbucket and under severe exceleration there seems to be a bit of the death wobbels comming from the ass of the car {and the driver} , the car is fitted with a buggy spring rear end on a 9" diff with four link bar set up , will a panhard bar heal my ass end ? is a watts link that much better, would stronger 4 link bars do the dammage? once where off the line and the somke clears and where doing 60+mph theres no a worries in the world its all in the launch?

    the steering is on the correct side !!!! the bar at the front u refer to is a gazzard rod {thats what i call it anyhow} acts just like a panhard rod in reverse stops lateral movement in front end, i believe that it dose bugger all , but they made me put it there for full street rego {compliance} as for runnung rich all the pipes are like that now with the new motor....

    Here's another description of Watt's linkage with pictures of one style employed. http://tsmmfg.com/Watts_Linkage.htm

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
