At 2" of lift long arms aren't the answer to your DW.

But, if you do lift it to 4", and above, long arms all the way, although I can say for certain that DW happens with long arms too.

Just keep in mind, when I got my long arm, IRO had the only kit that allowed yo to keep the existing lower control arm mounts in place. Which is good if you ever have to revert back to short arms for whatever reason. ie, if you are not doing it by the books, and get busted.

Every other kit needed you to cut them right off.

Something to think about.

PS. It's a possibillity that your new panhard/track bar bushes are too soft a compound. Although awesome for helping with nvh, the extra soft play promotes the wobbles.

Can you pop the old panhard bushes back in and test the theory?

I made a set of delrin bushes for my trac bar once, and it solved DW that time 100%. But...delrin is too hard a material, and puts a lot more stress on the mounts. Don't do it.

I'm thinking johnny joints the way to go.

Bushes on pan hard rod do look a bit soft when I was under having a look whilst wife turned the wheel could see them sponging quite a bit. The bar was a bit of a thing to get back in any good adjustable pan hard rods that you would recommend

These two videos seem to help me the most and a lot of people seem to agree that he has the most comprehensive guide to DW.

That's what I have.

Are you sticking with 50mm lift? If so, I don't think you need an adjustable trac bar, plus it may not cure your DW. Stiffer bushes in your existing bar might be enough. It's always a bit of a gamble though. Good luck. If you have spare play money, it's a good time to experiment.
