In a perfect world I feel a chassis mounted bell crank would be the ideal setup, mounting the bell crank in a fixed position to the chassis would allow the rear roll center to move up and down as the suspension goes through its travel. With the bell crank fixed to the rear end housing you do not get the same roll center movement, yet I still feel there are performance improvements over a conventional panhard bar. We offer them in both configurations but due to packaging issues we built this particular car with the pivot fixed to the rear end housing.
