The Panhard bar is not necessary if you use the diagonal link. Either one can be used to keep the axle centered. I prefer the diagonal link because the Panhard bar moves the axle side to side under suspension travel. The diagonal link does not.
Just make sure that the brackets are welded properly to the rear axle. Warping can occur, then the rear-end becomes a bearing-eater. Usually, the welding is done on a jig that keeps everything aligned.
I used that same setup on my '72 Chevy pickup.Last edited by Henry Rifle; 03-27-2005 at 10:36 AM.

When I got married my friends asked if my spouse would be taking my name. I had to tell them it would be really silly if we were both named Fred. .
