anyone using a wishbone style rear track bar with trailing arms?
Good morning everyone, I'm in the process of building a pro touring c-15 and I'm looking at using a wishbone style track bar instead of a panhard bar or watts link. Anyone out there running one with trailing arms? I'd love to see some picures or hear your insight. Thanks.

I know it would have to have a slip joint in it since the trailing arms prevent pivot.

Thought about trying to triangulate it instead , didn't like the planned results. I like the wishbone idea , never considered it before in our trucks. I do have one in my bracket car , a 9 second mild 63 corvette roadster , it doe's require some maintenance in a well used race car to keep it working well , I pull it apart 2-3 times a year to clean & grease the slip to keep it free. Let's see some pictures if you do it! - Bob

Re: anyone using a wishbone style rear track bar with trailing arms?
I may or may not use a wishbone depends on what all is involved. I might just opt for a very long custom built pan hard bar. Just trying to see if others have successfully installed one and what kinds of issues I might expect.
I thought about using a Watts link but they take up quite a bit of space behind the axle.
