Exactly. People (like me) should be aware of this before they purchase a flawed design suspension component. You can't really call it "flawed" though because they will counter that you're stupid for not taking it off and adjusting. haha.

After researching this, I've heard of people ready sell their mustang because of it!! they think they have the BEST suspension money can buy and still aren't satisfied with the ride/handling. that sucks.

I love my Spohn adjustable panhard bar! So easy to adjust. I added blue loctite to the locknuts and never think about them again.

Best? Probably no such thing, at least not in terms of there being a single solution that best suits everybody.

The best structurally is not the easiest, adjustment-wise. Center adjustment is not the best structurally.

My question regarding the importance of convenience - how often does anybody think these things will need adjustment, assuming that they get set close enough in the first adjustment session?

So what would be a relatively basic one that does not rattle because I do not want to have to deal with another rattle

That was my thinking before I ever put my hands on one Norm...
With the Steeda, I had to go back at it a couple of days later.
I know it doesn't make sense but something must have gave somehow.
