So I made the big mistake and bought the ground control panhard bar. It was just about $500 and took 3 months to get it. Right away I was very disappointed with the quality. I've installed the t3 panhard bar on a few cars. Gc bar looks very weak compared to the t3 bar. But GC doesn't expect refunds. So I went ahead with the install. Big big problem bar is way to long. No matter how high or low the axle is. It's not even close. GC tells me they can help me solve the problem all they need is the bar measurements. Give them the bar measurements. Now they ghost me. Haven't heard anything back after several attempts to get ahold of them many emails for over a week. Can anyone with a t3 panhard bar take some measurements of their bar without the adjusters? Total length of just the bar. Then one end to the bend in the middle and the other end to the middle. I realize the gc bar mounts in a different position. I'm just trying to get a idea on what the length should be. Fix it myself. Cost me way too much to throw away. But I'm tempted. So pissed.

 

did you get this second hand from someone? because its $400 on their website, I guess maybe if you're including shipping it gets closer to 500? I've got a GC bar installed on my SA, it fits perfectly so this is very odd. also seems out of character for GC in terms of customer service. Maybe they fucked up the tube length when making it?

 

That is an odd design, the ones I have seen were a straight tube that went close to the right rear tire, aft of the shock. It "threaded the needle" between the diff bulge and the gas tank, and I don't think they worked with an OE sized rear muffler.

 

Nope I bought it directly from ground control. Took 3 months to get here too.

 

they said they could help me all they needed was the measurements. Haven't heard from them since. I gave up on them. Fix it myself. Bought the taps to rethread the ends after I cut them off. Yours looks like it fits nice. Only way mine will fit is if I take off the adjuster on the end. But then I will have to buy another left hand threaded rod end. Could u take some measurements of your bar? Just the bar.

 

Doesn't look like you dog is happy about your situation either, I hope you get it resolved to your satisfaction soon.

 

damn dude, im really sorry. it always sucks to see such wildly different experiences with a company. Ill get some good measurements of mine and send them over to you soon so you can hopefully salvage the situation.
also my dog was very tired in the picture, we had just returned from a very long hike

 

I really appreciate it. Need the measurements from each end to the bend in the middle. Without rod ends just the bar.
