Note: This severe duty Panhard Bar assembly has been designed to provide adequate control of rear axle lateral forces with as little compromise to rigidity as feasible while providing adjustment to rear roll center height, at a minimum of weight. The diagonal support of the frame bracket is constructed in a straight line to preclude flex. Do not modify or bend this bracket. All parts are test fit to a Mustang rear chassis section before shipment. If you have trouble with fit, you are doing something wrong. Back up and look at it again. And please, completely read instructions before beginning.

1. Raise car to a comfortable work height and support with jack stands under rear axle and front "A" arms. Do not support by frame. Car must be at ride height for proper installation.

2. Remove tail pipes.

3. Assemble Chassis Brackets to diaganol cross bar leaving bolts just snug. Now position Panhard bar frame bracket (2x2 upright) on left side under corner where frame rail meets fuel tank bulkhead. Cross bracket (diagonal brace) should be bolted to bottom hole on rearward side of upright, and should cross straight over and up to bottom of right frame rail. You may need to bend edge of fuel tank up to get diagnal back far enough to not interfere with axle clamp. Hold these parts in place with clamps.

4. Check clearance of 2x2 upright to fuel tank. On some installations the fuel tank straps must be loosened to position the tank as far rearward as possible. Be sure to re-tighten straps if this step is performed. Also be sure to check clearance of rear axle cover to P/bar.

6. Mark contact areas of frame bracket on car.

7. Remove brackets.

8. Remove all paint within 1" of contact areas using a hand grinder with a soft sanding (not grinding) disc or a wire brush.

9. Reposition bracket on car and tack weld.

10. Install axle clamp loosely on right side of axle with brake line outside of clamp.

11. Remove necessary bolts from differential cover and install new ones in kit securing lateral support of axle clamp.

12. Tighten axle clamp bolts making sure not to pinch brake line.

13. Install Panhard bar heim ends with spacers into brackets, adjusting length of bar as required to fit. We recommend installing in middle holes initially, but bar should be as close to level as possible. Bolts should slide through bracket holes and heims easily. Articulate suspension travel to all limits checking again to make sure there is no interference between rear axle and Panhard bar, and/or cross brace.

14. If you have already installed a TorqueArm, remove upper control arms.

15. Paint any exposed metal with Hammerite or a quality rust resistant paint.

16. Lower car to ground.

Raising Panhard Bar will reduce body roll and increase oversteer.
Lowering Panhard bar will increase body roll and reduce oversteer.
