Adjustable Panhard Bar

[cantrip]

I have an adjustable panhard bar on my 93 camaro and it rattles like crazy. Is there something wrong, or are the adjustable ones just like that? Should I get a non-adjustable one? or are the adjustable ones better? Is there a way to stop it? I know, i dont know very much, haha. anything will help. Thanks.

Does nobody know any of these answers? Or did I do a re-post, or is it in the sticky or something?

Re: Adjustable Panhard Bar

well why is it rattling? grab the thing and see if you can move it, are the bolts loose? then perhaps you might want to tighten them. as far as whether you need it then yeah I'm pretty sure that's in a sticky, short answer is no without a significantly lowered care you have no need for an adjustable panhard.

Re: Adjustable Panhard Bar

you need to find out WHY its rattling like black98v6 said. how do you know its rattling? are you sure its not something else? theres a lot of "stuff" under there.

Re: Adjustable Panhard Bar

A couple of ideas.

Check the two bolts that hold it on for tight.

Did you get one with rod ends? Throw it away. The rod ends people put on these are not good enough. They are a maintenance headache and a potential failure point. Good enough ones cost more than you want to pay. Race cars use them, because they are extraordinarily high maintenance vehicles and the rod ends are checked every few hundred miles and frequently replaced. On street cars Ferrari and Porsche use rubber in similar applications because it's the right material for the job.

If it is noisy rod ends, act fast. They could break and cause you to crash.
