Default Quick question...Can I install a Panhard bar in my garage?

I have a BMR adjustable panhard bar.

Are these easy to install on our cars? And if it is pretty easy to install, how do you make sure it is centered.

Thanks!

yup. should take about 30 minutes to do the whole thing. very simple. you can set the bmr one to the stock length then install. that's how i did mine.

Do you do a lot of hard cornering with your garage? If so, you definitely want to install a panhard rod in it. (sorry, couldn't resist...)

Yes, easy installation. check out installuniversity.com

You can install anything in a single car garage.
PHB is cake.
I have rebuilt the front and rear suspension and pulled the tranny 3 times in a single car garage.
I will do a motor swap in there eventually.

Sadly, I was thinking the exact same thing when I opened this one.

Just make sure you have the chassis on jack stands and the axle hanging free. Follow the instructions and be careful, make sure the car is supported and not going to go anywhere.

You'll get it done.

Hello, yes you need to grease them with a simple grease gun. Make sure that you use a synthetic based grease. The fittings will be in the panhard bar. If you don't have a synthetic grease you can pick it up from your local auto parts store, marine supply, or directly from us. If you have any questions please let me know.

Thumbs up

Just back the car up on a set of good ramps,set the parking brake, and block the front tires.
And just for added safety slide a pair of jack stands under the car, just in case!
