The suspension in a modern vehicle are designed to allow the wheels to move vertically. However, the suspension is not designed to move laterally or longitudinally. Track bars or panhard rods are specifically designed to restrict the lateral movement of the axle. Track bars or panhard rods are usually found on vehicles with a live-axle suspension systems. The track bar is simply a rigid steel bar that is connected to one end of the axle to the chassis on the opposite side of the vehicle. If your pickup truck or SUV demands a stronger and more reliable set of track bars, check out the inventory at Sam’s Motorsports and find out how you can pay less money on a brand new set of track bars that will improve the wheel articulation in your ride.
