Replace the factorys weak, stamped steel, flexible panhard bar with one of our heavy duty set-ups! Allows for centering the rearend after lowering. The best component for serious handling performance. Allows alignment of the rear for clearance when running larger tires. Greatly increases rears lateral stability.
The panhard bar bushings on F-Body vehicles have a significant impact on your vehicles ride, comfort, handling, acceleration, noise and vibration. When the vehicle leans (rolls) in a turn, one side of the chassis moves up relative to the rear axle and the other side moves down. The panhard bar must twist to allow for the axle to articulate, this causes the panhard bar bushings to bind. If this bind becomes excessive, it will raise the rear wheel rate and produce sudden and uncontrolled changes in handling such as snap oversteer.
It is common to replace the stock rubber panhard bar bushings with polyurethane bushings to resolve the shortcomings of the factorys soft rubber bushings. The downside of polyurethane bushings is they prevent the necessary movement of the panhard bar during body roll, which in turn produces significant binding in the suspension when the vehicle is cornering. The polyurethane bushings also place high stresses on the panhard bar mounts on the vehicle. Polyurethane bushed panhard bars do not allow for rotation of the panhard bar during cornering because of the stiffness of the bushings.
Del-Sphere Pivot Joints:
The Spohn Performance Del-Sphere pivot joint solves the shortcomings of the factory rubber and aftermarket polyurethane bushings. Our Del-Sphere pivot joint incorporates a spherical ball which is surrounded by delrin bushing cups. This combination allows the panhard bar to articulate like a spherical rod end (28 degrees of available rotation) during cornering but the spherical ball does not allow the bushing to deflect. Therefore the panhard bar remains completely bind free like a spherical rod end during cornering for predictable traction in the corners.

Spohn Performance commits itself to the design and manufacture of chassis and suspension parts and systems that deliver the highest level of quality, performance, attention to detail, and value.
With over 20 Years of Experience Spohn Performance's goal is to construct quality high performance components, and offer them to consumers at a fair price. Our entire operation revolves around that key word: Quality. We don't just say it, we practice it; all day, every day. When we do something, we do it right, or we don't do it! Our attention to detail is what has built our solid reputation, and will be the reason for our continued growth and success.
With a commitment to excellence in the design and construction of primo quality, Spohn chassis and suspension products opened in 1999 and has grown into a twenty-seven thousand foot facility located in Pennsylvania in the USA. The father and son owners both know the importance of dependable and long lasting chassis and suspension products and they are cognizant of the challenges inherent in the marketplace but not only that, they take pride in their product and want to give their customers the best possible product. SPOHN recognizes the importance of parts like the adjustable torque arm that attaches between the rear axle housing and the chassis and is needed to maximize rear grip and help with straight line traction, cornering and acceleration, always important but extremely important at the track and In inclement weather. SPOHN PERFORMANCE put their experienced team to work and developed products like the Cross member mounted and adjustable torque arm that can be easily installed because it is a bolt on system and provides an adjustable pinion angle and available for a potpourri of vehicles. Another indication of SPOHN’s innovation and impressive quality is their sui generis K Member designed to perform on even the toughest tracks by affording considerable savings in weight and at the same time assuring strength and rigidity to help the everyday driver with their driving demands. And for you Camaro racing aficionados who want to avoid torque steer and body roll at the starting line SPOHN developed the Pro-Drag racer anti roll sway bar that is much bigger in diameter and considerably stronger because it is manufactured with solid 4140 heat treated spring grade chrome moly steel coined as one piece and installation is a breeze with the bolt in installation. Another example of SPOHN’s innovation and thought to customer needs is the SPOHN Manual Rack & Pinion Kit that, unlike others, does not require you to have your spindle hole drilled out for the rod end to spindle adapters, and because it weighs considerably less than your car’s factory heavy power steering rack, pup and shed you will give yourself an extra edge on the track or in other performance driving venues. Check out these and the potpourri of other performance products by the unparalleled SPOHN and get the suspension part that will help you win the race at a competitive price at LMPERFORMANCE.
