Thread: Straight Axle Front Ends

Tweet

Well. Guess I will look into a rear panhard bar. I checked this weekend and my front panhard bar is welded to the drivers side of the frame and runs parallel with the front axle.

This is what my mechanic suggested to me today.

Lon,
I would look into a rear panhard bar, it really should have one. I would be happy to recheck it, but when we aligned the car, the rear was good. Our machine uses digital cameras to image the whole car, so they way the software works is to look at the vehicle as a whole. Meaning it is impossible for us to take readings or just look at the front, we get readings for the rear as well. Thus the term “complete” vehicle alignment. Since the front alignment is based off the rear, the machine will not allow us to do a front wheel alignment if the rear is out of whack. Make sense?
