Panhard bar replacement question
I'm going to be replacing the panhard bar on my car and need to know if it can be done up on a lift or not? I currently have an adjustable Ford racing one in that's over 10 years old and the bushings are shot, I'm replacing it with a BMR adjustable one. Can the old one be taken off while it's up on a lift and the new one installed without an issue if it's set to the same length or does it need to be up on jack stands or ramps?
Thanks! |

Unless the rear suspension is supported by jack stands or ramps, the rear suspension won't be parallel with the panhard bar during the installation process...

If I remember correctly, I did mine with the car up on jack stands and without supporting the axle/wheels .... you may need to use a jack under the axle to get the holes lined up
the final adjustment will need to be done with the suspension compressed to ride height -- meaning the weight of the car on the tires. Also a good idea to do the final torque on the bolts with the car at ride height. |
Just an FYI: In order to get the holes lined up requires supporting the rear axle by placing either jack stands or a floor jack under the rear axle...

Thanks, the dealer put it on when I got it years ago but not sure how they did it. Wheels are lined up properly and the car is lowered by and inch and a half in the rear.
