Re: Craig's Panther Project -- Sway bars

I'm wondering if anyone has ever installed the rear bar before and curious how the bar will affect the ride and TL.

I could see where the bar might improve or reduce the body lean on curves but wonder if the overall ride will change much. Don't pretend to know much about suspension and interactions and will take your word it is needed to work with the heavier front bar. Packard literature mentions the reason they chose the Watts linkage was it allowed true vertical movement of the axle but would not transmit any lateral forces or "harshness" to the frame. Seems like the added bar would counter that aspect and stiffen the ride considerably.
