A device used to control lateral movement of the axle. A Panhard rod is connected to the chassis on one side of the car and to the axle at the other end. Both ends require pivots to allow movement of the axle. A Panhard is used in conjunction with a torque arm or other radical rear suspension modification, and is not considered to be an effective modification if added to an otherwise stock rear suspension. Panhard rods have been in use on many different vehicles for many years.

A Panhard rod or track bar is a component of a car suspension system that provides lateral location of the axle. Originally invented by the Panhard automobile company of France in the early twentieth century, this device has been widely used ever since.
