need a panhard bar? ....... i read on here that after you lower your s197 that the rear end doesn't line back up even..... i noticed when i got my springs put on that the passenger side wheel stuck in more that the drivers side and now i noticed it more since my 20's are on....... will the adjustable panhard bar fix this? and what brand do you reccomend

 

Yes, an adjustable panhard bar is what you need and it will fix the problem. I like BMR and Steeda suspension pieces. They both have adjustable panhard bars.

 

I also put on 20's, with 295-40 tires and noticed that the DVR side stuck out about 1/2 inch more than the PAX side . . . BUT . . . I was following my car home the other day and noticed that while driving behind it I could see that it equalled out. Not sure what the reason was, Torque Pre-load Pre-set maybe ? - but the off-set was no longer there under power and while the car was moving, but came back when sitting still.

If there's any Physic experts out there, maybe you can explain.

Meanwhile, I'm going to leave it alone.

Good Luck with whichever way you go.

 

it will sit different from full tank of gas to an empty tank also. if you do get a bar set it with a half tank of gas in the car. I would also think that when taking off from a light it will move also but settle back in to its normal posistion at driving speed

 

Yes. I would suggest getting a Panhard bar.

I'm running a Spohn piece.

 

Not again, lol. There's a long, very technical thread on this. I'll search for it tonight after I'm home from work and post.

 

Whaterver you do don't get the Steeda PHB. I've got it and wish I'd have bought the BMR or anyother PHB. Reason being steeda but the adjustment nut in the worst possible place. It's almost dam near impossible to adjust and lock down while on the car.

 

I also went with the Spohn Adj Panhard Bar. Many choices/prices out there. This one worked well for me. http://www.spohn.net/shop/2005-2008-...-Bushings.html

I opted for the chromoly version, but it is not required.

 

I have one where the adjustment nut is a bit of a drag to get to.....but thats ok once you adjust it you never really have to mess with it again. Check fleebay and the forsale section here for a good used one to save a few bucks
