Adjustable Dead Perch – Polished Stainless Steel

The So-Cal Speed Shop Adjustable Dead Perch is designed to enhance front-end stability in traditional hot rod setups. Crafted from polished stainless steel, this component replaces the standard swivel on adjustable perches, effectively eliminating side-to-side spring movement. By doing so, it serves as an alternative to a front panhard bar, reducing bump steer and improving handling. The dead perch maintains the caster adjustment feature of adjustable perches, allowing for fine-tuning of front-end geometry.
