    Dropped Axle

     



    Ok I know i posted awhile back on this and never got any pics up. Mainly because my camera is messed up. I think I found my problem! and also the
    mono leaf seems to be a rough rider. I attached some pics, but its hard to
    see the problem. When I first build the chassis I forgot to put a panhard bar so I bought one off ebay a couple of months ago and installed it. It helped a lot but now there is a loud bang when you hit a big bump and I believe its the panhard bar mount on the batwing. It uses the 2 holes the hairpin bolts to and than comes forward leaving a gap between the batwing and the braket. Im hoping you guys know what im talking about Since im 95% sure thats my big bang what do you guys think would be a good solution? Weld the braket to the bat wing? The batwing is cast stainless, but I could still weld it, just dont think it would be very strong.
