Re: track bar and panhard rod

Same thing. Why are you replacing it and what is the car being used for? There are many different bushing types out there to fit different needs.

Founder's performance makes very affordable panhard bars... You can just Google the name once you decide which bushing type you want to get to their website.

Have a Founders panhardbar (trackbar) on each of my '91 V6 and '88 V8 and another sitting in a box waiting to go on my '91 V8. No complaints. Inexpensive and effective.

Re: track bar and panhard rod

if the car height has been altered you will need an adjustable one.is there any reason to change the trackbar except to center the rearend?

They DO get damaged sometimes; and of course stock ones have bushings made from about marshmallow material in them, and you can bend them with your bare hands.
