Re: Aftermarket Trac-bar mod?
Its the basic concept behind an adjustable bar yes. I would think you would want a higher grade rod than the basic rod at home improvement stores. Those are like grade 3 or 5?

I wouldn't want to just put in a chunk of threaded rod in the middle of the Panhard bar, but replacing a bushing on one end with a new rod end and tube adapter would be fine.

I can give you a good deal on one of our bars new...which would be a much safer and smarter solution. To accomplish what you're talking about successfully, you'll need to install a tube adapter inside the tubing and make sure it's installed straight before welding it. There are certain measures we take in order to ensure this is done correctly, it's it's not, the bar will be all janky. haha
