Re: Rear panhard assembly
Snyders Antique Auto sells them, although shipping to NZ might be a consideration.

Re: Rear panhard assembly
I installed the Snyders panhard assembly in my heavy 30 Fordor. It maybe made a little difference, but not much.

Re: Rear panhard assembly
Why? High speed cornering? Simple to make your own.

Re: Rear panhard assembly
I have had a rear Panhard bar on my slant T/S since it was restored. Agree with posts #3 and what Y-Block just said.

Re: Rear panhard assembly
On any panhard type bar that is installed on a car that needs to turn in both directions, as in street use, it is important that the bar be kept as close to the axle centerline as possible.
If higher or lower, weight transfer can occur and affect handling. Not good on the street. |

Re: Rear panhard assembly
Looks like Summit Racing also carry's this if you are able to weld.

Re: Rear panhard assembly
I made my own years ago and noticed virtually no difference. Yes, it was properly set up.

Re: Rear panhard assembly
I have wondered about this and it is interesting to hear what people who have installed them have to say. I would think the transverse spring already controls a lot of side to side motion.
What about a sway bar? I wish my Tudor didn't lean so hard in turns. The rear feels like it wants to go all the way over. |

Re: Rear panhard assembly
I wonder about a sway bar, too. If I was the first one trying it I’d try to set it up to be adjustable (by sliding the cross bar closer or farther from the fulcrums) and start off soft. From what I understand, a sway bar on the rear tends to reduce understeer, and if stiff enough can induce oversteer with the rear breaking loose. Warning: I might have this backwards, e.g. a stiffer rear roll moment makes the car under steer more, not less.

Re: Rear panhard assembly
My mother used to say to not drive my Model A too fast around corners because they can tip over. She did not have to remind me as I tipped over a 1930 coupe in 1965 when driving too fast in the fog and not seeing a sharp corner. Some bystanders helped me right it and I drove home. I have wised up in my old age and take it easy on corners.

Re: Rear panhard assembly
My Tudor has 750x16s on the back. They rub the body on turns. Would a Panhard bar eliminate this?

Re: Rear panhard assembly
It should, a panhard keeps the rearend centered. I originally had 6.50 x16 on my Tudor and they didn’t rub .
I really wish someone would manufacture a anti- roll bar for our A ‘s

Re: Rear panhard assembly
Roll bars are more tricky to add due to the forces involved in the twisting motion. Attaching and stopping the brackets and links breaking will be a thing.

Re: Rear panhard assembly
Over here, we figure that a part engineered for a circle track race car that is down engineered to work on a street driven car, will last at least till the apocalypse, maybe longer....lol
