sure is
is the blue rod in the pic the panhard rod?
cheers
[attachment=12315:attachment]
sure is
yup! and i have a broken T3 one!!! hahaha
so does it cum adjustable?
if yes, is it to centre the diff?
y do u need it, wen lowering your car?
any help very appreciated.
robbie
you need it no matter what, its stops lateral motion. When you lower the car its going to shift the diff to one side. So having an ajustable one helps, carnt tell from the pic if yours is or not.
y=you, cum=sperm ect
when u slam ur 86 to the ground the diff shifts to one side
so to align it properly u would need an adjustable pan hard rod bar.
That particular bar is NOT adjustable. The T3 panhard bar IS. Here's what a little searching on the internets got me.
"A Panhard rod or track bar is a component of a car suspension system that provides lateral location of the axle. Originally invented by the Panhard automobile company of France in the early twentieth century, this device has been widely used ever since.
While the purpose of the rear suspension of an automobile is to allow the wheels to move vertically with respect to the body, it is undesirable to allow them to move forward and backwards, or from side to side. It is this latter movement that the Panhard rod is designed to prevent. It is a simple device, consisting of a rigid bar running sideways parallel to the rear axle, connecting one end of the axle to the car body or chassis on the opposite side of the vehicle. The bar is attached on either end with pivots that permit it to swivel upwards and downwards only, so that the axle is in turn allowed to move in the vertical plane only. This does not effectively locate the axle longitudinally, therefore it is usually used in conjunction with trailing arms which locate the axle in the longitudinal direction. This arrangement is not usually used with a leaf spring rear suspension, where the springs themselves supply enough lateral rigidity, but only with coil spring suspensions.
The advantage of the Panhard rod is its simplicity. Its major disadvantage is that the axle must necessarily move in an arc, relative to the body, with the radius equal to the length of the Panhard rod. If the rod is too short, there will be excessive sideways movement between the axle and the body at the ends of the spring travel; therefore the Panhard rod is less desirable on smaller cars than larger. A suspension design that is similar but eliminates the sideways component of the axle's vertical travel is Watt's linkage."
That should answer all of your questions pertaining to the panhard rod.
Good luck understanding it though!
hmmm.......still confused.
so when u drop your car then the panhard is to long for your application?
and the diff should move towards the left?
a local wheel alignment guy will know how to adjust?
wats this adjustment called?
...
the panhard rod is alwyas static, a wheel alignment guy wont be able to ajust it unless he modifies it. A new white line one is $100
static as in u cant adjust it?
isnt the whiteline rods are adjustable?
