Hack: Cheap 67-72 Adjustable Panhard Bar

[mrobvious34]

To add to an old thread, I did this to my truck yesterday. For those of you that are talking about drilling out the sleeve to 5/8s, I did not have to do that. My original one had steel sleeves in the bushings already. They were still shiny zinc plated so I assume that they had been replace by the PO so I dont know if all have trucks had steel sleeves from factory or not. If they do, I found that the OD of the sleeve in the original bar and they new one were the same, I was able to simply push out the sleeves from each bushing and swap them. I didnt need a press, just a C-clamp and some sockets and was able to slide the new one right on the truck. The whole swap took me less than 15 minutes
