Fitment Notes

• Position: Rear - mounts between the rear axle housing and the chassis to control lateral axle movement
• Compatible with Ridetech Air Suspension, Coil-Over, and StreetGrip suspension systems on this platform
• Adjustable length allows axle centering and pinion angle correction at any lowered ride height - required when the rear suspension is modified and the axle shifts from its stock lateral position
• Sold as a complete kit with all mounting hardware

Features

• Adjustable length design allows precise rear axle centering and pinion angle setting after suspension modification - eliminates the axle offset that occurs when a B-Body is lowered from stock ride height
• R-Joint Technology end links provide 360° axial rotation and 30° of total lateral rotation for full-range articulation with zero binding through the suspension travel range
• Polished stainless ball with RTX10 composite cage delivers consistent low-friction movement with no lubrication required - self-cleaning design resists contamination from water, grit, dirt, and debris
• Significantly stronger than factory stamped-steel panhard bar construction
• Made in the USA (Jasper, Indiana)

Product Description

The Ridetech 11289000 is a rear adjustable panhard bar engineered for the 1965-1970 Chevrolet B-Body platform - covering the Impala, Bel Air, Biscayne, Caprice, and associated full-size wagon variants. When a B-Body car is lowered, the factory panhard bar's fixed geometry causes the rear axle to shift laterally from center, which affects handling and tire clearance. This adjustable bar allows the axle to be precisely re-centered and the pinion angle to be corrected at any ride height, whether the suspension is a Ridetech coil-over, ShockWave air system, or StreetGrip upgrade.

The R-Joint end links are the key differentiator from conventional heim joint or rubber-bushed panhard bars. The patented RTX10 composite cage and polished stainless ball provide 360° axial rotation and 30° of total lateral rotation with consistent, low-friction movement throughout the full range of suspension travel - with no lubrication required and no sensitivity to contamination from road debris. Made in Jasper, Indiana and backed by Ridetech's 1-year warranty.
