Panhard brace

Somehow my exhaust has smacked the panhard brace hard enough to bend it (axle hop???). I remember some discussion a while ago about aftermarket braces for this that afforded more room, say for duals over the axle. I can't seem to find any info. Should I just find a used stocker?

Hey Chuck check out Jason Swindle's site. Unbalanced Engineering (http://www.unbalancedengineering.com)

Granatelli Motorsports made the one I have on my car. The only problem with it was they way they strenghten it is by welding a flat plate to the bottom of a stock brace to strenghten it. This is all fine and good if your car is at stock ride height and doesn't have a larger-than-stock diameter panhard rod. If your car is lowered and is using a beefier aftermarket panhard rod it hits the bracing on the brace. I had to cut a relief out of mine to keep the panhard rod from hitting it under suspension compression.
