During chassis roll a short panhard bar changes its angle, hence handling, more radically than a long panhard bar. Consequently, handling can become inconsistent if the panhard bar is too short (20″ minimum length is recommended).

Do you need a track bar with 4 link?

There is no need for a separate lateral locating device. Conversely, with a parallel style 4-link, all bars are parallel to each other and the vehicle centerline. A “Panhard bar” or other separate device is required to keep the axle centered.

What is a 4-link lift?

Do you need a sway bar with a 4 link?

A Panhard bar, or some other location device, is necessary when a parallel rear 4-link is used because the bars themselves don’t offer much resistance to left-right chassis movement. The triangulation of the bars resists the left-right movement when a triangulated rear 4-link is used so a Panhard bar is not required.
