Panhard bar opinions
The weather should be warming up soon and I'm contemplating getting back on my '57 Chebbie. I've installed a 4 bar rear and am trying to decide how best to locate the rear end housing. The 4 bar kit came with a track locator bar, but a number of years back I broke one of them in a corner and experienced a "challenging" recovery to get the car stopped without a big wreck. I've determined they are best for drag race cars and not for street cars. A Watts Linkage is of course the best method, but with a narrowed housing, 4 bar brackets, coil over mounts, stabilizer bar and mounts things are getting a bit crowded around the housing. A Panhard bar would be the easy way to go, but I'm curious of what you folks have for opinions on whether or not a Panhard bar cares which end is mounted to the frame and which end is mounted to the housing? Oh yeah, the front is a straight axle with leaf springs if that goes into your considerations. Thanks in advance.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
