Viewers are familiar with the 1930 Model A coupe I've featured in several previous videos. High speed steering stability has always been an issue with this car.....it tended to dart and wander, particularly at 50 mph and above. After trying several "fixes", I finally determined that the problem was caused by the front axle's ability to move laterally relative to the frame and (cross) steering tie rod. To correct this, I fabricated and installed a pivoting Panhard rod to link the front axle to the frame and eliminate any transverse motion. All aspects of design, construction, and installation are described, and we go on a test drive to fully evaluate bump steer, wandering, and high speed stability.
