Panhard bar end bushing/bearing selection

[captdistraction]

I'm tired of the vague feel of the rubber bushings in the stock panhard bar.

I drive 20k/year on the street, and probably 10 events on track with this car (very hard life).

I am curious how much NVH going to a double heim setup bar would be versus a heim/poly or poly/poly bar. My SN95 had a MM bar with 2 rod ends in it and it didn't matter on NVH as that car was completely full of it.

What's the feedback here? In my mind it wouldn't be very perceptible coming from that part. Otherwise I could consider going to a watts based setup, however those seem to be both heim-ended and no one really complains there.

Just getting some thoughts. I'm trying to eliminate the vague feel of the rear end when cornering. Right now driving it at the limit feels like bending a twig, you're not sure where its going to snap. (car is all stock minus koni yellows which I constantly play with and some roush toss in springs).

It adds a lil NVH but nothing your going to bitch about. I just put one on and my car is my DD and i have no problems. Just go for it and dont look back

so you recommend a rod-end/heim on both ends of the bar?

If its not much NVH that makes the most sense to me.

i got the heim-poly bar and there was no added NVH. the rear doesnt seem as sloppy now either. better than stock for sure.

I got the adjsutable UMI bar with a roto joint on one end and a poly bushing on the other. It didn't add much in the way of noise.
