    panard bar question

     



    I have a 29 model A I recently bought. The car is leaning to the right by about 1/2 inch , I noticed the shock bolts on the top were bent so I replaced them and put an a better space than was there, but the car still leans, my question is could a misadjusted panard bar cause this problem? It has a 4 link rear with a panard bar from the top of the diff to the left frame rail, is it possible the the panard bar is acutally holding the left side up causing the lean? to the right? I have tried adjusting the coil overs giving less tension on the left side and more on the right but it doesn't seem to make a difference .. any help would be appriciated

    thanks

    You should have the panhard disconnected when adjusting coilover heights so that any crossweight it may be putting on the rear end will not effect the ride height.... With the car at rest, the panhard bar should be absolutely neutral!!!!

    Is this A drag car or A steet rod ?.Dave should he have weights equaling his own body weight in drivers seat when doing this, my car leans till I get in it then levels out but that's how it's set up simulating me still in car.
