ok guys i need some help with a problem on my 67 burb
well i figured that i would ask here because their are more people that traffic this area than the burb area. but anyways here is my problem that i am having. i lowered the back of my burb 2"s with lowering springs and the rearend is not centered, it is off (shifted to the passenger side) and i would like to know what i can do to center it evenly from side to side? it is also causing my tires to rub. what can i buy(and were do i get it) that will solve this side to side alignment problem?

I got mine at Early Classic (www.earlyclassic.com) I think they are on sale now for $109, and it's a high quality piece. It will work with your 12 bolt, too.

Re: ok guys i need some help with a problem on my 67 burb
As previously mentioned it is in fact caused by your panhard bar. As the bar swings through its arc it will deflect from side to side. Your bar would normally drop as it went from it's mount on the driver side frame to the stock mount where the diff casting meets the passenger axle tube .Since you've lowered the burb, in effect raising the axle in relation to the frame, the bar is now more level in it's arc. this has the effect of pushing the axle to the passenger side.
Since you are a "static" drop, a replacement adjustable panhard would do the trick. On the cheap you could cut the axle end off your panhard bar and drill and tap it for a hiem of suitable size with a jam nut. Ideally replacing your stock rod with a longer one will minimize the arcing effect. In the past I've made my own with the axle mount on the spring perch in effect adding about a foot of length. If your thinking about going to an adjustable susp. (air,juice) at anytime in the near future my opinion would be to run a watts style link as this will keep the axle centered through the travel. josh Last edited by RunninLo; 09-30-2007 at 01:20 AM.

Speed way sells them for the same price as an adj panhard there is just some welding involved its not a direct bolt in like the pannhard bar is.

Re: ok guys i need some help with a problem on my 67 burb
don't forget about the KP components unit. Nathan @ porterbuilt is a distributor for KP AND a site vendor and Clint (Kontrol Phreaks) is a member here. Nothing like supporting those that support the board. The KP unit is designed to be bolt in for the 67-72 trucks with 10 or 12 bolt ( specify when ordering) and should work with our burbs. I hope to find out very soon and post pics to my build thread.

Re: ok guys i need some help with a problem on my 67 burb
Forgot to mention the KP unit is in final development and pricing isn't yet finalized. One important thing if you build your own kit or buy a universal kit, make sure that your watts is set up so that the bars the come in from the frame to the pivot are level at ride height. To be perfectly honest I'm not sure why but guys way smarter than I told me to do it that way when I built my first one from scratch.
