Panhard Bar?

[Wolf]

Anyone here running a panhard bar on their SVO? I've heard they really settle the back end down in hard cornering.

I run the MM panhard bar on my SVO. It works wonderfully. It definitely keeps the rear suspension in place when cornering. It also seems to get rid of the snap oversteer quite well, since the panhard bar appears to get rid of some of the suspension bind i.e. the bar allows the upper arms to control pinion angle, rather than pinion angle AND rear axle location.

If you can afford them, the Maximum Motorsport rear lower control arms would help as well, but I feel the best bang for the buck on a SVO rear suspension is a panhard bar.

panhard bar

I am running a Griggs panhard bar and torque arm. It really tightens up the rear end. I highly recommend Griggs. They are the innovators that everyone copies.

If you are going to leave the front geometry stock, I would get the MM bar. It is much more DIY friendly, bolt in. Plus the roll center is closer to the front roll center. The MM bar is very nicely built. I have had both on my LX but I have the Griggs now because is matches the roll center of thr tubular front K-member. For your application, I would go with the MM with the AL bar.

Panhard & dual exhaust?

Can it be done with duals?

Dual's can be used with the Griggs non-adjustable or the MM bar. Mac tail pipes work the best if you are running 2 1/2 inch. You will probably have to go to the exhaust shop and get it adjusted.
