GW TracLink vs.Panhard

[turbolx]

First off, the Trac-Link and a Panhard bar are two very different devices that do different things to the rear suspension. The Trac-Link is effectively a short torque arm that helps control axle windup under acceleration, and the panhard is used to positively locate the axle under the body laterally.

Adding a GOOD panhard should make a significant difference rear end behavior. Since a panhard eliminates the lateral, nonlinear bushing deflection, snap oversteer is greatly reduced. Just make sure that you don't buy a cheap panhard that will break after heavy use. (Ask me how I know... ) Get a good one from either Maximum Motorsports or Griggs, assuming you already have done the usual chassis reinforcement (subframe connectors) and springs/shocks.
