The Panhard bar is a lateral suspension link between the rear axle and the chassis, and is the best method to control the side to side location of the axle relative to the chassis.
The Panhard bar is in a direct line with the cornering load, and acts through spherical rod ends, therefore no bind is induced during cornering.
The Panhard rod is mounted as low as possible to lower the rear roll center height (typically at the same height as the rod).
