Here's a link to Jeg's Panhard bar relocation bracket. Not sure if this is a new product or not.

Cool, that would go great with this: http://www.bmrfabrication.com/F-body...tm#panhardrods

 

which side does the bracket go on?

also note, that when you lower the real roll height, you need to run more rear spring, and more shock valving, to keep the car neutral. it iis a good mod, because once you revalve and re-spring, the balance is the same, but the car should be more stable in transistion.

BTW, Unbalanced has had their kit out for some time.

i would assume the chassis side.

 

I think it goes on the axle side ( driver side )like JERRYWHO shows in this thread.

The Jegs bracket goes on the axle. On a lowered car with stock panhard brackets, the panhard rod will be pointed "uphill" towards the drivers side. On my car which has been lowered about 1.5", the second hole down on the Jegs bracket leveled the bar.

 

I have a technical question if you don't mind-

When fitting the brace, did you have to cut out the original mount cup area on the axle side? Or did the brace fit up inside the cup just like the end of the panhard rod would?

Reason I ask is the brace piece does not look to be tapered to fit inside the cup area and then flare out enough for the stock panhardrod to fit in between the lower settings- I notice in your pics that you are running rodends and not the standard size rubber mount panhard. This could be a problem for those with polyend panhards.

Also I assume it was bolted into place then welded?

Thanks for any imput,
Dean

 

I'm suprised spohn doesn't make one.

 

Give`m time, I`m sure if there`s no patent they`ll have one out soon enough

 

the Jegs bracket fits into the stock panhard rod pocket on the axle with no cutting required. It "nests" into the shape of the original axle bracket quite well. The Jegs bracket is a much more intricate weldment than it first appears - its a lot more than just a "C" channel with some holes drilled into it.

Jegs says you can bolt the bracket to the axle or weld it, and they provide bolts and a template to drill holes in the top and side of the axle bracket to allow this. I never even considered doing it that way....I welded the bracket to the axle, using the upper bolt through the original mounting hole to locate the new bracket.

As for using the stock panhard rod, or any panhard rod with a bushing end, I don't think it will fit. My aluminum reducer bushings for the rod end (to allow a 14mm through bolt with a 3/4" rod end) were sized to have the same width as a stock bushing, and I had to take a pretty good amount off (on the order of 1/16" per side, 1/8" overall) to make them fit inside the Jegs bracket.

 

That's what I was afraid off. Any ideas on how we can adapt our current PHBs to this bracket. I have a Spohn adjustable.

 

I think i might get that 1 from jegs seems like it would be needed.

 

Haha, that's just what I was thinking
