2001 Pontiac Trans Am

Moving now to the rear of the car, we find a bone-stock WS-6 suspension, ready to be upgraded. It's best to install each new BMR part one at a time, as keeping most components connected at any given moment keeps the rear-axle assembly from shifting too far out of place. First up is the Panhard rod and support. After cutting the tie wraps holding our exhaust cutout wiring and e-brake cable to the rod, one bolt at either end gets the Panhard rod out. The nuts are 18mm and the bolt heads are a metric size we didn't have handy (21mm, apparently), but a 13/16-inch happens to work perfectly.
