My 32 Ford roadster has a Bell 4" dropped front axle with a panard bar. I had an incident and am now replacing the axle with a new Pete and Jakes axle. Problem: the new axle does not have the stud on the front passenger side to bolt the panhard bar to. The car drove and handled great. Question: Do you have to have a panhard bar? Is it neccesary? I know what it does. The axle is already painted, so I really don't want to weld a stud on. What do ya'll think I should do? Thanks Edd
