I just finished installing the rear radius and panhard bar, the axle moves up and down fine but seems to bind if I try to only raise one wheel? I used Heims on all connecting points. Is this abnormal? I posted some pics on my journal, Rgassmans journal.

Thanks

It is normal to have bind like you descibe with that setup. On a ladder bar deal like yours the front of the bars are the only pivit point. With the unparralel four bars that the rear originaly had all four bar ends were pivits. Pete and Jakes catalog explains the diiferences between radius rods and four bars on front axles. On the rear it works the same way.
Have fun,Smokey
