Panhard bar??

Pulled the rearend to swap some gears and noticed my panhard bar is bent and slop in the bushings so I figured I'll get a tubular one (have tubular torque arm and lca's already). Rearend is a little off center (probably because its bent?) The car isn't lowered I'm running L60s, so I'm wondering if I should get an adjustable or non-adjustable one. I'm thinking the bar should re-center the rear since its not lowered. I read good things on here about founders I can get a non adjustable shipped for like 60 bucks. I'm not sure how there adjustable ones are? Any input is appreciated thanks

Re: Panhard bar??

Its a crap shoot really, depending on a lot of variables, the rear may or may not be perfectly centered with a non adjustable/stock type piece. that said, it may or may not even matter. Usually only if you are very close for tire clearance.

i would spend the extra couple bux and get one thats adjustable, thats just me.

Even from the factory the rear end is not always centered. If you are seeing issues now with the rear end being centered I would highly recommend spending the extra few dollars on the adjustable item.

We offer a nice adjustable panhard bar, made here in the USA, TIG welded, chromoly components and glossy powder coat.

If you have any questions please ask. Thank you!
