i busted a couple 8 dollar bolts getting the panhard off for a fuel pump swap. i don't feel like putting money into the factory stocker ****, so i was wondering if i can drive without problems having no panhard rod until i get an aftermarket one. thanks

 

You have to have the panhard rod in place, it's what locates the rear under the car. There is a brace for the panhard rod that some people remove for wieght reduction, but I wouldn't recommend leaving that off either unless its just an all out 1/4 mile car.

 

i just hate to go buy those stupid bolts

 

Use zip ties
No, I'm kidding, don't!

 

Your car will be swerving all over the road if your panhard bar is not bolted in.

 

The bolts aren't even that expensive, I ordered brand new ones from Spohn along with my new tubular panhard rod. The bolts only cost me 10.95.
