Hi,

Could someone please explain in laymens terms what an adjustable panhard bar will do for me. I have the Roush rear lowering springs, no other suspension mods. I've read with the rear lowering springs I should think about the panhard bar, just can't seem to find a good explanation of why??? Also, any recommendations on brand, and....is it something I can install myself?? This is a great forum....I don't post too much, but I read every day!! Thanks again to you all for your help!

It is my understanding that an adjustable Panhard bar will allow for centering of the axle between the wheel wells. Typically if the car has been lowered the bar would need to be shortened to maintain the orig. center of the axle.

What he said. How do you like the Rousch springs? I am having 275/40/18's all the way around this week, with the Rousch Springs, and an adjustable panhard bar.

This might help you get a better idea of what the panhard bar does

PullMeOverRed05, that's exactly what I needed, thanks a lot!!!

Stanman, very happy with the Roush. Price was right, and in my opinion the height was right, here are some pics. FYI...I only did the rear.

Bmr fabrications is a good place to get one http://www.bmrfabrication.com/2005Mustang.htm and the install is very easy.


TUBULAR PANHARD RODS





The panhard rod is responsible for locating the rear end side-to-side in the chassis. Factory panhard rods are made with small diameter tubing and rubber bushings that allow deflection under load. BMR panhard rods are all made from larger diameter 1.25", heavy wall DOM tubing and utilize either greaseable polyurethane bushings or HD spherical bearings by QA1. The adjustable versions use left-hand and right-hand thread to allow easy "on-car" adjustment. Our CNC machined adjusters are made from 4130 chromoly and have rolled threads. All rod end spacers are 304 stainless. You won't find better quality pieces.

By nature, a panhard rod will alter rear end position as ride height changes. This makes it necesarry to use an adjustable panhard rod when lowering your vehicle as it allows you to re-center the rear end. Adjustable panhard rods also become a "must-have" part if you are trying to fit the widest tires possible in the wheelwell. Available standard in your color choice of red or black powdercoat, additional colors also available by special order.
