Off Panhard bar

[esc]

I have a Herb Adams Panhard rod on my '82 Camaro.  It is a threaded steel
tube with 3/4" rod ends on each end.  Because of the length, if it is
horizontal when the car is at rest, there is very little horizontal travel.

You can do the math if you want, it's about 4 feet long and travels 2-3"
above and below horizontal.  It really doesn't amlount to much.

If it breaks, make it stronger.
If it doesn't, try harder.
