[QUOTE="GR-40 Pat, post: 7502078, member: 40703"] First I would like to say that I no longer work for Griggs Racing and things I say are not coming from anyone at Griggs Racing Products Inc., but rather based on my own experience having worked for them for over 5 years. In my experience, the only panhard failures that I have seen have been caused not by "poor build quality" but by improper installation and/or maintanence. The axle bracket that you broke as described, is caused by the axle bracket rotating on the axle, which is caused by the bolts (axle bracket) being improperly torqued or over torqued. Griggs is also the only Mfg. that I'm aware of that offers a lifetime replacement warranty on their products: [URL="http://www.griggsracing.com/extra_info_pages.php?pages_id=6"]Warranty[/URL] Although it does not work for you since it is non-transferable and your parts are second hand, some exceptions have been made and it would atleast be worth contacting them if you have an issue. Did you replace the hardware when you installed these second hand parts? It is possible that even if you tightened the Axle bracket bolts to the required spec they may have already been stretched from the first installation. While you may have followed all the instructions, do you know that the first owner did the same? [URL="http://www.griggsracing.com/pdfFiles/mpb1200.pdf"]MPB 1200A Panhard Bar Instructions[/URL] In regards to the Cambered rear end; For a someone that wants to gain every possible advantage on the comp. and has the money to spend, it's a great thing to have. However for the standard DD street car I would recommend spending money on other things. Don't get me wrong the rear end is sweet and has it's advanatages, availble with or without camber, 9" tappered bearings and axles without the heavy 9" housing, No C-Clips. [/QUOTE]
