In a message dated 9/20/2007 5:21:29 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The panhard rod locates the suspension and rear wheels side to side. The Panhard rod does nothing for the stiffness of the rear springs. Replacing it with an adjustable unit or stiffening the stock piece will make a difference in how well the vehicle tracks while being driven aggressively. The rear axle is called a "twist beam" rear axle and has an anti-sway bar built into the cross bar. Boxing this cross-bar or increasing the diameter or wall thickness of the bar will increase the roll-stiffness of the rear suspension. But I never said anything about stiffening up the rear springs. In fact, the word "springs" was not even mentioned in my post. Nor did I say anything about *replacing* the *panhard rod* with an *adjustable unit*. I DID say, that I have an *adjustable rear sway bar* attached to the car with a 3/4" diameter. To state again, this is an aftermarket piece that bolts on. Not a stock piece that was modified, not a stock piece that was boxed in. A true, aftermarket sway bar that attaches to the rear. Can you please re-clarify what it was you were trying to say when making your point? Because I am confused after reading your post :-O -David C.
