which panhard bar?

I am looking to purchase a panhard bar and i don't know if I need the bar with both rod ends, or just one rod end, or no rod ends. i think I want to get one that is on car adjustable. All i know is that I want a little more stability in the rear of the car. Tell me which one I need to get.

Thanks

I had the same dilemma and just recently ended up going with a double rod ended one from SJM MANUFACTURING, INC I didn't notice any kind of added noises or harshness, although I already have a pretty stiff setup and had a poly panhard bar before this one.

I don't do any auto-x or road coarse racing, mainly just drag racing, however, i drive on the high way a lot and i would like a better feel at high speeds. My car is a 02 firehawk with the bilstein suspension. Only other suspension mod is poly lca's.

This item does feature one end as a QA1 rod end and the other end a poly bushing set-up and it is also on-car adjustable, does not need to be removed from the vehicle in order to adjust. The nice thing about one end being a spherical bearing is this helps to eliminate rear end bind while the polyurethane bushing helps to reduce and eliminate road noise ect. This is one of our most popular set-ups and has proven to work very well.

Also you can take advantage of our 10% sale if interested, information can be found here- www.umiperformance.com

Anymore questions please ask. Thanks

me and a buddy both use the SJM double rod ended panhard rod. It's nice, but there is some added noise.

For stability though.. i did not notice much, i just needed it to center my big tires.

I would go with a different sway bar in the back if you are concerned about stability..
