Nope, a panhard bar keeps the differential centered, pivoting from a frame rail; while a sway bar is in torsion, hooking the two sides of the axle together, but constrained in the middle (only for position - it still twists) to dampen the relative movement of the axle, one side to the other. A sway bar provides some of the same action as a weak shock absorber, but is there to lessen body roll. Evolvo posted a good link to a universal swaybar kit from Speedway - looks like it would be ideal for your Merc.Last edited by rspears; 03-31-2011 at 07:08 AM.

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
