Panhard Bar

My car is not lowered and I do not intend to lower it. It has stock suspension and i want to replace the panhard. Do i really need the adjustable type or will the non adjustable work fine? Thanks

An adjustable panhard bar is never a bad thing...go ahead and spend a couple extra bucks and get the double-adjustable one.

I agree, that way if you ever need it you have it. Plus some cars are not centered from the factory; not something you can always see visually (we're talking 1/4" here).

One of the best bang for the buck items for the car almost seems like you put an IRS in it lol, well not that good, but its really great for the small amount of money they cost.

I went with the single adjustable UMI rod/poly. It corrected my rear alignment, which was off by about 13/16" toward the passenger's side. Once it is adjusted, you should not need to adjust it again, unless you make changes. JMO.

Why would anyone get a non adjustable PHB over an adjustable one.

I was impressed with the UMI single adjustable PHB since it has that double threaded piece that allows you to adjust without removing the bar. I should have gotten one of those.

what are the benefits to be had with a rod end vs a poly end?

Poly will probably transmit less noise than rod end. How much noise I can't say. It may be too minimal to notice. I didn't notice, but I also did a lot more modifications at the same time as the PHB. I have a dual rod end. I would get a dual rod end or a single rod end at least.

Stock rubber bushings would probably transmit less noise than poly.
