What size panhard bar do i need for an 2000 chevy silvy. Im running kp 4 link and cantilever.

 

[dava flav]

if you bought the kit then it comes with it. but dont run anything bigger thatn 20s on it :imo .

if you didnt then go measure it from frame to axle farthest possible mounting points

 

[black350HO]

I make my own..

:word: To the KP kit coming with one.

 

[Steve]

It should have came with one, if you still need one I have an extra one laying around since I upgraded to a watts link. I'd be happy to sell it to you.

 

[bamfchris]

ok thank you.. just making sure im going to have everything when it comes in this week.

ive heard that its best to mount the panhard as close to parallel with the axle as possible. am i blowing smoke or is this true

 

[bamfchris]

I'm only going to have it for a few months till i upgrade to watts link. Money is restricting me from getting a few upgrades.

Correct, parallel to the axle and the ground at ride height. But KP suggest 7* off the axle, which is the main reason everyone "has to" get their watts link.

 

[Steve]

I'd weld the panhard mount to the frame. The frame will crack at the panhard mount if you don't.

 

[Marcos]

I want a watts link so badly, these panhard bars suck... my left tire rubs and right tire looks sucked in, Its gay.

You need to adjust your panhard bar to center the axle.

 

[Marcos]

Well I am already using the notch bolts to hold it in, so its aleady parallel with the rear end, and I am also already on the 7/8" max exposed thread on the heim joint... I dont want to go past that and end up breaking the heim joint...

 

[OTTO]

he means you need to set the panhard so that when layed your axle is centered.

 

[Marcos]

Yeah I know, if I adjust it anymore the threads on the heim joint are going to exceed the recommended 7/8" on KP's instructions.

 

[OTTO]

i guess the best thingto do is unweld it from teh axle and air the truck out. center teh axle and set the threads to center on the panhard. then weld it back on

 

[Marcos]

Haha, I just noticed that you responded... I guess thats gonna have to work, I am gonna try it this weekend...
