G'Day, Excuse my ignorance, but what is the actual purpose of these - http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Front-track-bar- ... 3a6404ccce http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Rear-track-bar-b ... 3a6404ec7d Are these needed if you have a large lift on your Jimny ? Thanks, Guy |

yeah it looks like a way to get around using adjustable/ extended panhard rods with a big lift |

When you raise a car fitted with a panhard rod you affect the roll centre. Raising the panhard mount at the axle (or lowering it at the body) will return the roll centre axis to somewhere close to standard. As Jester said above.... It also eliminates the need for an extended panhard rod... |

If you fit it to the front your panhard and steering arm arent going to be parallel anymore so it will bumpsteer like a bitch you are also increasing the load on some bits that may not appreciate it anymore, its not like the suspension in them is fragile enough |

Its also worth noting that moving the mounting points up or down to reduce the angle on the panhard will reduce bumpsteer, but can actually cause other hadling issues like increased body roll. As with every modification, there is a negative that comes with the positive

If the panhard and steering sweep at different arcs it will bumpsteer cause the diff is moving sideways a different amount to teh steering. On a leafy where the diff moves up and down due to no panhard then less steering angle will reduce it. |

That means that these should come with a drop pitman arm as well to work proply |
