Re: 1951 GMC 3 window half ton

ok, here is a question. may seem dumb to you but I wonder why you fabbed the panhard bar with a heim joint that is not inline with the arc/movement of the bar? the frame end is inline but the axle end relies on the ball in the joint to move on every suspension movement and if the suspension moves past the point where the ball can move in the joint then there will be binding and/or bending/breakage of the joint. explain the plan? suspension travel limiters not built in yet? oversight? normally the ends of the panhard bar would have the joints line up in the same plane as the bar arcs in so the ball in the joint turns in the joint, like the frame end does instead of like the axle end does. am I seeing this correctly?
