Early classic adj. tracking/panhard bar.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok, I just installed my new tracking/panhard bar from early classic. I also have early classic's 4" rear drop springs. Here's my problem, with the bar as short as it will go my rearend is still sitting about an inch or so towards the passenger side of my truck. I did not buy the super track bar kit because the guy at ECE said that I would not need it with a 4" drop. any suggestions?

Call the guy at ECE and let him know what happened.They should tell you what you need to do to make it right or exchange your parts.They need the feedback if it doesn't work so they can give better advice on what to buy and keep from having the problem again.I haven't dealt with ECE but I doubt they want the bad word so they should help you get it right.

i have 4" springs in the back and i went with the super track bar kit. make a world of difference. when it shifts hard it doesnt kick to the side anymore

Thanks nate68. I've got the adjustable bar on right now. I'm going to talk to the guys at ECE and see if they will work something out with me. I guess i'll go with the whole kit now. Thanks again!

i couldnt imagine how bad it would be now that i have my 400/700r4 combo. i would be sideways at every 1-2 shift
