2001 Pontiac Trans Am

The Panhard-rod support goes up with the three stock bolts holding it loosely on the driver side. On the passenger side, the BMR kit's mounting bracket goes up, and the end of the support now goes into the factory hole where the Panhard rod used to be (with a spacer going into the top hole). Though BMR supplied new bolts for these upper holes, they would not fit through the existing holes in the frame, so we reused the two stock bolts and nuts after verifying they were of the same 10.9 grade. The bolts must install from the front. (GM made their shanks and the forward holes in the frame larger in diameter to prevent backward installation.)
