Panhard bar/relocation install?
Panhard bar/relocation install? Just ordered an adjustable panhard bar + panhard relocation from Founders (super excited on them), and I was wondering if this was something I could do in my garage on a saturday or if I should bring it in to my mechanic. Couldn't really find any write ups, just to get that out of the way. Thanks, all!
Yeah it's all bolt in. But it all came with some brackets and I'm not quite certain how they mount. I'm one of those people who are really skeptical of my abilities when it comes to DIY stuff.

Don't be scared, I think it will only line up one way, there's only one way to learn. There are plenty of pics on here that have relocation, just search it if you need. The true dual thread has a bunch too because they are needed
I'd recommend getting the Jegs PHB relocation brack that welds onto the rear-end PHB mount; especially if you car is lowered.

Is it the PHB relocation thing that just seems to be for exhaust clearance that UMI/BMR make? Comes with the PHB upper support bar. Or is it the single bracket that has like ~4 holes in it that you can add to both the chassis and the axle side?

IMO, there's only one way to do it correctly especially if your car's lowered , that's to lower the phb mount on the axle tube at the same time as you lower the body mount point.

PHB is lowered, but PHB brace is in stock location. Exhaust over the axle is still stock. My understanding is you would use a lowered brace for dual exhaust. My PHB is lower then the axle tubes, but not lower then the diff. A lowered PHB is the same as using a watts link, just not as easy to 'tune' as a watts, and a lot cheaper.

Easy Install true ... unless its your relo Bar to fit !!
My Founder PH Relocation Bar is short by almost 5-8mm & wouldn't reach the 3 Top Bolts =( ... I will have to twist my Chassis (Relo Bracket Area) to the inside to get them to fit the 3 bolts on the driver side.
One more thing ... is the PHRelo Bar supposed to hit the Fuel Tank ?? (Another Nightmare from Yesterday)
