Re: cheap adjustable panard bars!!!

I would not use that. Its just to keep a brush hog or implement from swaying at slow speeds.

I have wondered though would the adjustables off the later Impalas fit?? they look like the might.

Im with you on the ends not being the best quality, & they will most likely make noise & possibly wear out sooner than good ones

Actually that is the top link for the 3-point hook up on a tractor & it carries a fair amount of the load, so they are pretty strong & strong enough for this application IMO, just not necessarily the best choice

You are right. I should have known better . I have removed many of them. I guess they could work in a pinch. We've had trucks driven into the shop at times with broken ones or broken mounts that had been driven a long time like that.So it would be better than none.
