Follow these step by step instructions to install your Maximum Motorsports Panhard Bar Kit on your 1979-1998 Mustang.

The Maximum Motorsports Panhard Bar improves rear suspension stability by minimizing the side-to-side movement of the Mustang's rear axle during cornering. This lateral axle movement can cause the rear of the car to steer independently of the driver's input, resulting in unpredictable handling when pushing the car near its limits. The factory upper control arms also contribute to this behavior, as they are positioned at approximately a 45-degree angle to the cornering forces. During hard cornering, one arm is placed in compression while the other is in tension, creating suspension bind that further reduces handling precision.
