Please don't take this the wrong way. I am just trying to learn. All I am trying to do is keep the axle from moving from left to right, so why would I need a bushing or heim type attachment where the stock trailing arms meet the axle? I understand what you are saying about the trailing arms having no pivot point, but this is how they function with a panhard bar. Correct? I agree with your statement that that is how it should be done because of binding, pinion angle, etc. I just don't wanna get crazy with this. I want something to replace the panhard bar.
