Title: Longer Panhard bar?
Post by: sergi on January 28, 2005, 09:06:48 AM: Hi,
I've ordered some new coils for my Grand Vitara, I shall lift it only 4cm to avoid problems with more lift, and I can't afford much more anyways.
The thing is, if I lift it, I know of people who have the car leaning to one side, as the Panhard* bar is too short. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've thought about buying one from a crashed GV, and simply cutting/welding. Does anyone have any expereince in this? Any help would be apreciated.

Thanks,

sergi

PD: I'm not sure if you call a Panhard bar a Panhard bar ::) but what I mean is the bar in the rear axle thats meant to keep it centered. It goes from the left of the axle to the right of the vehicle ;).
