Default ? for those with a panhard bar

what upper/lower control arms are you running? what type of bushings in them?

but most importantly have you had any problems with suspension bind? i know with aproperly engineeredtriangulated 4 linkthe suspension will bind if you use a panhard bar, however the mustang suspension in far from properly designed (i'm not sayin it sucks or doesnt work, just not designed right) so i'm hoping it wont bind

i know most of you are set up for drag racing but hopefully someone can help

I use daves upper and lowers ans his anti roll bar, he does instruct that if you are driving in an urban city type of setting you may want to unbolt it, lot of potholes, ****ty streets etc. All my stuff is solid bushing.

I've had a MM Panhard rod since about '94. I've had stock arms, HP Motorsport Sr.'s (upper and lower) with poly bushings all around, and I'm back to a MM lower arm w/ stock uppers with rubber bushings. Under straight line conditions, the poly bushings were significantly better at launch. However, in the corners with the poly,the car would slide more vs grip and hold at the limits with thestock rubber uppers. I did give up some straight line stability going back to the rubber bushings. I think overall, the stock uppers make the car more predictable and controllable even though the car feels more loose in the rear.
