S&W chromoly panhard brace bar

S&W panhard brace bar. This is the upper brace between body and bracket, not the panhard bar.

This product does not fit. The bar is straight and lacks the crook needed to clear exhaust. The mounting pad at body is drilled wrong and bolts cannot be installed.

This could work on a race car with no exhaust over the axle, and some touch up with a die grinder at the mounting pad.

Overall my recommendation is to avoid this product.

Re: S&W chromoly panhard brace bar

Such a simple part, you think they could make it fit properly. I just box welded mine years ago, seems more than strong enough. Coincidently i have a chromoly panhard bar, custom made.
