Panhard questions

newbie here , I have a 67 short wide with factory rearend factory fenders and wheels tubs .
I have a set of 20X10 rims with 5.25 bspace 275 40 20 tires .
I have put the wheels on the truck without tires and it looks like I will have 1' space to the frame side of the wheelwell and about 1.5" to to fender lip .
i have an adjustable panhard bar that allowed me to set it up to this tollerance .
How much side to side movement will I get when driving / I have bags and the bar is set like this for ride hieght .
Any help appreciated .
thanks

The lateral movement will be determined by the length of the panhard bar and the angle at which it sits. Typically you won't see more than a half an inch through the whole travel (with an aftermarket bar... longer than factory). I think you won't have much to worry about while driving.

Re: Panhard questios

I think that the panhard should be about level at ride height.. I could be wrong though
