Did you add a panhard bar to your car?

Post by fairlane292 »

For my driveline swap I will need to add a panhard bar. I'm using a Mustang GT 8.8 rearend and I am leaning towards using the Maier Gen IV bar kit rather than making one essentially from scratch. I'm pretty sure a panhard bar is going to make it near impossible to use the OE fuel tank and probably near impossible to run dual exhaust (already near impossible "with" the OE tank, never mind with a bar in there).

If you have experience with a panhard bar in the roadster I sure would love to hear about that. Thanks, Jim

I have a Panhard bar in my roadster with a 4-link RX-7 rear end and OEM fuel tank. Lots of roadsters with Panhard bars, stock rear end and OEM fuel tank. Seen many (mostly race) roadsters with a Panhard bar on the stock rear end with a fuel cell.
