Which one did you get. I'm afraid I dont know your answer but am very curious which one your using as you may be able to answer a question I was about to post.


I need to install a BMR adustable panhard bar in the next few day (when time allows). When I ordered mine it didnt occur to me that I might need 'brackets' to attach the bar. Can you tell me if that is the case or if it just attaches to a 'stock' location to work??

I got this one.





Which one are you trying to install?

much appreciated. I typically forget the small details and would have been pissed to finally get to work on getting the Koni shocks, Elbach springs and the upper duty strut mounts on only to figure out I needed brackets for the panhard.

Thanks much for answering for me. Much appreciated.

I installed mine with the adjuster closer to the passenger's side, but I don't believe it really matters. The grease fittings should face down to make them accessible.

The grease fitting on the shorter end is sort of difficult to attach/detach a grease gun nozzle to when bolted to the car. I would have pumped the grease in prior to installing that end.

Here's a BMR panhard bar/brace installation write-up I posted on another site that might be helpful.

The BMR adjustable pan-hard bar is very easy to install, adjust & set compared to others on the market.
