Panhard bar for 3rd gen. Camaro

Jeremy K · 11-25-2009, 09:14 PM

I see that adjustable panhard bars are made with polyurethane bushings or with rod-ends. First, are the ones with rod-ends legal in stock eliminator? Second, if legal, is there any advantage to having a panhard bar with rod-ends for drag racing? Thanks.

Yes they are legal and the only reason the rod ends are beneficial is for a less friction in movement, but it is a very small advantage.

another advantage allows fine tuning the tire centering in the wheel well opening. Sometimes just being able to move the axle assemble 1/4" side to side can help with tire clearance.

Thanks for the responses, that answered my question. Dragsinger, I was looking to get an adjustable panhard bar for just what you said, help center the tires in the openings. Since they are available with poly. bushings or rod ends, I was just looking for advantages of the bar with rod ends.
