Panhard Rod

[JaredT]

So its been a while since I've worked / messed around with an Opel, I've been mainly playing with a 4th Gen Fbody for the last ... quite a while...

Anyway, as I was changing the diff fluid on a recently acquired GT, I was noticing that the Panhard rod was not level. The main reason I noticed this was because when I lowered the Fbody, it caused the panhard rod to not be level, but I installed some relocation brackets to fix the issue. When I installed the brackets on the fbody, as well as making the bar horizontal again, it also lowered it, which allowed me to run a stiffer spring and still keep it under control.

Anyone played with this on the GT? Since it is similar in design, I'm assuming the same principles apply.

There is a thread or two about it on this site, where our Opel Racers have made adjustable panhard rods, and have made adjustable mounting points. Use the the search feature on the site and it'll lead you to them.

At least I know I'm not out in left field!
