Chevy Impala Track Bars & Panhard Rods

A Panhard bar, also known as a track rod, is a suspension link used in non-independent suspension architecture. Just like control arms in independent suspension, the Panhard bar is used for maintaining the track of the wheels and preventing their lateral shift, which would be unfavorable for the rest of suspension links, drivetrain, and dynamic characteristics of the vehicle. A Panhard bar is a simple, inexpensive, and durable solution to the problem that remains in common use in the automotive industry since its invention in the 1920s.

These days, Panhard bars are rare attributes of production vehicles primarily because the vast majority of them utilizes independent suspension. However, it was quite common in the vehicles of the past, including early versions of the Chevy Impala. A Panhard bar itself is a rather unpretentious component that may have an almost unlimited service life. However, its mounts – spherical heim joints and bushings – are not as durable and often need replacements because of their wear.
