In considering my various options for getting my car up to snuff (sporty DD), and like many others here, I've been looking at the available 3rd party (IPD, Kaplhenke) adjustable torque rods and panhard rod.
While the Kaplhenke rods are really nice, I think they are overkill for my application (price and tech), and I've read that the IPD rods are a pain due to the fact that they cannot be adjusted without unhooking one side.
I've only come across a couple of threads with DIY projects, and found THIS one to be particularly useful due to the recommendations for hardware (and vendor links).
That said, I think a dedicated DIY thread would be a good addition to offer a resource to others in the TB community. So, here it is.
I'll share what I can of my own process, but invite any and all who have done this (or know of good resources/guides or vendors) to participate and share.
Photos and step by step info, with parts lists / links are particularly useful. Hey, maybe someone with mechanical drafting chops could drop some dimensioned drawings/sketches.
Naturally, any considerations, criticisms, pitfalls, hazards, and warnings are also useful.
With context being so vital, please be sure to include model and year. I will add a second and third post as placekeepers to consolidate information for threads and resources.
Go.
