Anyone self installed a panhard bar themselves?

And Steeda’s specifically?

no but I was under my car the other day and was looking at it. doesn't look too hard...especially if you get a non adjustable one.

Very easy. Measure both rear tires to see how much centering you will need. Then just remove the old bar and install the new and center rear wheels. Tighten bolts with the weight on the tires.

Easy! If you're going with an adjustable one, BMR's can be adjusted on the car where the Steeda one has to be removed to adjust. It's just a bit easier setting it up.

One tip if you go with the BMR panhard bar: Grease the driver's side bushing before you install the bar. There is very little clearance and you won't be able to get to it if you don't have a right angle fitting for your grease gun (I Didn't). My car is lowered with Steeda springs, so this may have affected things and your mileage may vary. The best solution would probably be to just replace that grease fitting with a 90 degree fitting though.

I have the BMR Adjustable Panhard on mine and agree, install 90 degree fittings before you install. Other than that, it went in just fine and did the trick getting the rear end positioned correctly.
