[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 16175531, member: 9628"] Simply comparing the relationship between the body attachment and the axle attachment on the two set ups and knowing how the body and axle move (travel) during the driving experience is completely different between the two set ups is a quick clue. The panhard bar does not keep the axle "square" under the body through all motions of travel, we all know this because when we lower our cars, the body pushes the opposite direction of the axle, thus the need to shorten the panhard (adjustable). <<This motion will also happen when a car is pressed into a turn and one side dips/lowers. The Watts link does center and keep centered because the axle attachment is not "one sided" (as it where), but instead centered. <<That is the best way I know how to explain it. It is not only turns. What happens when you do a moderate to hard acceleration, the nose raises, the rear does what........Lowers......, just like lowering the car, what does the body do? It pushes away, but only for that moment the axle and body relationship change and are not "square" as it was when the panhard bar was originally adjusted. R [/QUOTE]
