Re: trac bar

NO! Do not drive your truck without the panhard bar in place. That is what keeps the rear end from moving side to side.

Re: trac bar

I have driven a circle track car for a lap or two with a broken panhard bar. Good lord, the damage that can be done that quickly is amazing. And costly. Hopefully during the 4 minutes it took for the Captain to reply, you didn't try it! On one side your wheel and tire will be hard up against the frame or inner side of the wheel well inner or bed and the other side will be up against the outer bed. There will likely be grinding noises, tire smoke, maybe a few sparks, and a really unsure catwalking wobbly feeling.
