Aluminum Panhard bar ??

Is an adjustable aluminum panhard bar good? Wouldn't it flex or bend because its aluminum?

I'm not sure it would be as durable as steel. Why are you considering it?

Go with steel, thats a big load point in hard cornering. I would prefer to have the stronger of the two metals for this reason.

are you making it or buying it. mine is made of chromoly which wasn't much more than steel at the time. it's a kenny brown unit and it works very well. comes polished or powder coated...your choice.

I suppose if you are in a race where every pound saved counds, I could see it but going with aluminum just for kicks is not too good an idea, IMO.
