Panhard bar...

WicK · Apr 3, 2021

Guys, when my car breaks loose it always goes to the right in the rear and im trying to figure this out. I have bmr relocation brackets, bmr panhard bar, and bmr lowering spring and control arms. Is it possible that the panhard bar might need some minor adjustment and can fix this? Also have some grease coming out the driver side too. Thoughts of what to do?

Is the axle centered (left to right), and fore/aft when looking directly at the wheel?

The driverside is further in by maybe an 1/8th inch compared to the other side. Also the level is on the floor touching the tire.

Sounds like you need to center the rearend. Should be even on both sides. Also check all your tq specs on all the things in the rear. Uca, lca, brakets, sway bar, pan hard bar.

Not a bad idea just to go over all of it again. I bought the car with all of it on it so just trying to figure it out. Ty!

I see your rear Goodyear tire & see the mod list. There's your problem friend.
Yes all the information in previous posts are correct on centering/squaring the rear.
We have basically the same suspension & power level by looking at your mods.
Toyo 888 will solve your main problem. You'll never feel the torque/power your car is trying to show you now due to wheel spin.

I agree with this but I still get it with mickey thompson et street r's. ( not to the point I feel I'm going to die, but have to be careful which makes me feel that something isn't lined up right)

I agree with everything mentioned above, and I would take it one step further by inspecting the LCA bushings on the axle end, especially the left one squeezing out grease to make sure bushing integrity is not compromised. If you are not going straight with MT drag radials, something may be shifting under heavy load.

This is what I'm thinking

The 888s are great. I had an alignment, which included thrust angle. This checks that the rear axle is tracking in line with the front. My BMR suspension parts allowed for this adjustment. Toyos are still biting, so not much spinning going on.

Believe it or not, the MTs actually aren’t always going to hook better than ‘street’ drag radials and Toyo Rs.
For street fun and seeing as you’ve already talking MTs, skip the Toyos and go 305/35/20 NT555R2s.
You have a gear yet?
Street rubber, gears and an alignment with centered rear and you’ll be happy

You’re bar angle pretty aggressive too.
If you get that to work on street it’ll like it at the track but you can try the next bar slot up to straighten the LCA.
Man I gotta get my car out soon

More proof something isn't right

Was that your tire rubbing??

It looks that way for sure

Wow! Something is definitely up, also the only way to center the rear 100% is with adjustable lowers. I'd take a look at the axle tubes, hopefully you didn't twist them

All that stuff looks fine from eyes. I think I might just do a watts link set up and be done with this.

Unless you guys think the bushings are just bad? Would replacing them possibly fix the problem?

Panhard adjust side to side, adjustable lowers would fix it front to back. I'd do adjustable lowers and be done

Is that the side where the tire sticks out farther. Definitely check the tq specs. Maybe Jack the vehicle up and check for movement.
