I see a lot of people on here running coilovers and a 4 link system but they have no panhard bar. How is this, do you not need one with certian set up's? Just a little confused.

this could be a good topic for the moderators to move to Newbie tech before it gets ugly.

They are triangulating the 4 links. instead of having them parallel to each other either one set of links (usually the top) or both sets are placed such that they form an angle to the frame and are less than 90 degrees to the axle. This, if the angle is great enough, removes the need for the panhard bar. You can test this yourself with a straw and some toothpicks. Make a few simple link set ups and see how they will move.

That's what I kinda had in mind but have never seen in person a set up like that and just thought it would still move around a little.
