help me pick an adj panhard
Looking for "on-car" adjustability. Some advertise themselves as such and some don't. BMR advertises panhard models that are adj on-car and off-car. Steeda, whose brand I prefer, doesn't mention one way or the other - so I assume that's a no?

I went with one of the the on car adjustable UMIs on Sam Strano's site.
http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetai...D=79&ModelID=5 On car adjustable, decent bushings, and it is able to be greased with zerk fittings on both ends. Mines a daily driver so I didnt want anything too rigid on the ends. |
For ease of adjustment, get an "on car" adjustable one... like BMR or UMI. I initially installed a Steeda and the adjustment process was a royal PITA as you can't get a wrench on the passenger side lock nut.

Yeah guys, avoid the Steeda and any bars that have the adjusters on each end. ;) Here, this is what Doogie's talking about... http://i657.photobucket.com/albums/u...hardbar021.jpg |
Everyone I have talked to seem very pleased with the adj bar from BMR. I am going to go with one from them.

I have the Spohn adj. panhard bar. The adjustment locknut is on one side and it's easily accessible.

I have a BMR. Construction is fantastic and adjustment couldn't be easier.

The Steeda Panhard bar is adjustable but you have to pull one end out to make an adjustment. This is not a big deal to do by any means and if people are complaining about it they are just whiners and should keep their day jobs. In any case you only need to adjust it once unless you change your ride height. On a car without coilovers this almost never happens unless you are a suspension nut and just have to keep trying out new springs like I did. Even though I have had coilovers for some time now adjusting the Steeda Panhard bar to recenter the axle was never a big deal. Of course I installed a Saleen PJ Watt's link and adjusting the Panhard bar is a thing of the past now. HTH! |
