Adding a second rear torque bar (to driver side)

Post by fairlane292 »

With the increase HP from an engine swap and the addition of limited slip diff are folks adding a second torque bar?

Short answer: no.

For stock or anything around 200whp I think you would benefit more from a Panhard bar. In general, unless you are over 250whp a newer (ie ford) rear axle with appropriate locating links is warranted, especially with hard use.
