I'm looking for a side to side brace for the rear end on a leaf spring set up. Something that keeps the wheels on the rear end from coming out under hard corning. The rear can pitch out a bit and I want something similar to a watts linkage to keep the rear-end in check. Does anyone know of any company that makes something like this for the first gen?
the spring will still twist a little, he's looking for something like a bolt in panhard kit. I don't have experience with them, but people like david pozzi etc have said that it is something you want to be carefull with because if not done correctly it can easily cause bind in the rear suspension, specifically on leaf spring cars
If your tires are rubbing a little it is probably due to them cambering in a little, putting a panhard etc is not the correct solution to fixing the problem. Wheel size is. However if it was me I would start with the del-a-lums like suggested. that will get you in the right direction. I have them in my car. Using them in the front spring eye pocket does make the ride a little harsher but nothing huge. Also if you are running a rear sway bar you will probably want to ditch it if you go with the del-a-lums
Yes, exactly I was looking for a panhard style system. I was wondering if there was a high quality kit available for this car? Yeah, I figured it should be done correctly and be a good kit to not bind up. Anyone?
I'd do the del-a-lum's first, of course unless you just want the panhard for the "go-fast look". How much movement are we talking here? Have you rolled the fender lips yet?
Yeah we shaved the fenders enough, but in hard corning I can feel the rear step out maybe 5/8's of an inch or so, way to much for my taste. That FAYS2 looks like that's the ticket. This works with leafs?
It also looks like it's for mustangs only.
Thanks again guys
