I will post back up when and if they reply.Quote from: CougarSE;468193While digging through old threads I found a post from Jack himself on this forum. The post was from 2008 or so and he said in that post it would fit but raised the same concerns as your email.Quote from: Aerocoupe;468194I think there are several that have searched and not found that thread. Could you either post back with a link or edit your response above to include it for future reference?Quote from: BCA;468196Maybe this one?https://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?39131-Panhard-bar-for-1988-SportCats = Herded.

BlueBird Reply #62 – December 06, 2018, 11:52:20 AM Oh good grief...shows you how much I remember with regards to panhard bars on these cars (though I will not forget now) and how far read down in that old thread. Horse beaten and thanks for linking all that together... Quote Selected
BlueBird Reply #63 – December 07, 2018, 11:04:07 AM Thanks for the research. I'm guessing that it'll be "interesting" for those of us with 2.5" dual exhaust to mount the MM panhard bar in our cars.Who wants to be the Guinea pig and try installing one on a Fox Thunderbird/Cougar? Please post pictures and instructions :hick:. Quote Selected

I might be able to use that to figure out if it would fit well on my car. Quote Selected
BlueBird Reply #68 – December 29, 2018, 10:49:00 PM OK, so I was leveraged into moving the car over Thanksgiving. Too many people in my house for the holiday meant some decided to camp out in my building. I needed floor space and the newly running Tbird was the simplest to move. Then a side job showed up....Got that all done and back to its owner, then brought the Tbird back in. Tonight I got it back up on jackstands and did a thing Quote Selected

BlueBird Reply #71 – December 30, 2018, 05:51:48 PM Got a bunch of parts off the car, and a few back on.CC plates are modded Mustang parts carried over from the white car. The springs are from a '00 CobraR Quote Selected
BlueBird Reply #72 – December 30, 2018, 05:54:21 PM Put the car on the ground to do an initial check of the front ride height. These struts are waaaaay under damped for this much spring; not a real surprise and now added to my upcoming parts order.That'll do Donkey, that'll do. Quote Selected

BlueBird Reply #74 – December 31, 2018, 05:12:17 PM Onto the rear! Pulled the sn95 7.5 out of the corner, swapped in a 3.45 gear set and maintenanced the brakes.Then pull the stock 7.5No stuck bolts, no broken brake lines, factory thread lock on the d/s bolts. Pretty neat stuff.Hopefully I can get back in the shop tomorrow, get the sn95 rear under the car and set the rear ride height. Quote Selected
