52 chevy 4 link
i recently installed a 4 link rear end on my 52 chevy with a 85 firebird rearend with disc brakes and was wondering if the track bar takes the place of the pan hard rod or should it have both.

Re: 52 chevy 4 link
Post some pics so we can see what you're referring to. There only needs to be one link that locates the axle laterally. A trac-bar does the same thing as the pan-hard bar.... are you referring to the torque-arm? (the link that goes from the diff. to the trans mount?)

i order a the 4-link kit from totalcostinvovledfor a 52 chevy with an 85 firebird rearend. When i asked fro the pan-hard rod kit to go with it the kit they had was only for the ford 9inch rearend so i would have to find one somewhere else or make one.When the kit came it had an extra bar, so when i started looking through the magazines i seen this complete 4 link kit with a trac bar going from the rear of one link to the front of the other link on the opposite side. A frined told me i needed a pan hard rod also. i figured the pan-hard bar would not work properly with the trac bar. Now i am wondering which of the 2 set ups would be strongest bescause is i can get a way with just using the trac bar it would be better because it would leave me room for my exhaust and spare tire.(http://www.totalcostinvolved.com/pro...cfm?prodID=833) this is the trac bar) (http://www.totalcostinvolved.com/pro...cfm?ProdID=538) this is the pan hard rod) |

Re: 52 chevy 4 link
What you have there will work fine, no panhard bar is needed.
Air Ride Technologies sells a diagonal set up similar to the TCI set up you have. ![]()
