[Tigers] Speaking of Panhard Bars..

As mentioned the panhard rod os for lateral location and would not help with
axel tramp. I have a SII alpine and a MKIA tiger. The Tiger has dales
springs 3.07 LSD and a 340hp 302 ford crate motor, if i use more than 2500
rpm at the start it lighst up for a moment.. then violent tramp.. so i'll be
installing traction bars.

The alpine can also tramp (its warmed a bit ;-) ) but to the point, the
alpines axel has a habit of hoping sideways if you hit a bump mid corner.
This was noted in many of the road test, now its more noticeable with the
early cars with lever shocks, but its still evident in later cars.

I assume they put the panhard rod on the tiger fearing a car with more power
having that issue may lead to some nasty accidents.. and there must be some
sideways axel movement or the brackets would not be tearing/cracking.
