Is a track bar the same as a panhard bar? This would be a bar
running from somewhere on the frame to the axle itself? If so, does
the axle tend to move to one side as the suspension droops?
Oh, one other question I thought of while I'm bugging ya about
it ;-) - what made you decide to go with a coil over spring as
opposed to leaves? I found a page where a guy did a solid front
axle swap on a Toyota and his reason for going with leaves was
because he knew of a couple of coil over trucks and they had a
lot of problems - something about the link angles needing to
be perfect ? Said the one truck was undriveable on the highway
over 35mph. I guess that's all a part of having the experience
and knowhow of how to set up a suspension. His comments did
get me a bit worried though, a coilover suspension seemed to
be the way to go and easier to bolt in...
