Teetering on the brink here - the car is in the garage so not a problem to make a call and add it.

Who fits Panhard rods and why?

I am looking for a quick but comfortable road car so am going for SUPLEX suspension with new rear dampers which I hope will smooth out the London potholes and speed bumps. I have ruled out anti-tramp bars for now as to track focussed.

Why would I add a Panhard rod, is it only for very fast road or track work? Will I get unpleasant feedback or chassis noise from it? This is a car that the other half will be in quite a lot so comfort is important!

Or are there no downsides to it, it just aids handling and there is no reason not to fit it?

I did a search and read the notes, a few have them fitted and like them. But are they the hardcore of Moggy drivers rather than those going for a picnic at a country house on a Sunday..? Which is me, with a little bit of the former if I am on my own smile

Thanks and I promise to stop making new topics smile
