Edelbrock panhard rod

[ezdaar]

Poly bushings on end, Alil more forgiving for DD use.

Del-Sphere Pivot Joints, ALOT stiffer, perfect for track or hardcore DD use.

I have the Edelbrock panhard bar. Serious improvement over stock in handling, especially on the highway, my Tahoe doesn't get blown around in heavy winds anymore. I can do quick zig zags at 70mph and not feel like I am about to flip. And I installed this AFTER my Hotchkis sway bars, so this was in addition the already great handling. Gives the rear a very planted feel and really helps the sway of the rear half of the Tahoe around tighter turns.

I paid $75 shipped and would have happily paid $300 for the results I got with it. I added boxed trailing arms later, but didn't really notice a handling difference with them, I can do 4wd launches straight as an arrow but not sure what to attribute that to, steering or suspension or both.

just a heads up the spohn is adjusatble where the edelbrock is not.

I just ran across this one, I have a question. How do you know the correct adjustment on the adjustable unit?

Fortunately, you can adjust the Spohn when the truck is on the ground. To answer your question, you just measure how far out/in the hub is on each side and make it even. I made a plumb bob to hang from the fender and measured from the hub to the bob. Once each side was the same, I was good.

Thanks for the info! Come spring I think I will be buying one from Tony!

i think ill end up grabbing one soon as well. will it be a good improvement with stock ride height? also, is the one you sell, tony, the del sphere one or is it the regular? is the del-sphere necessary or overkill?

No unless your bushings are rotted in the rear then yes. And if the bushings are rotted on the panhard bar most likely the upper/lowers will be also so might as well changed it all out.

Tony didnt you say once that this dropped the rear end a little? with the a arms and panhard bar? Like .5" or something?

 

[NORCAL SS]

no i usually lenghten the upper a arms 1/2 and lower 9/16 to give more negative pinion so bites harder out the hole.
