What is a good way to get rid of that Mustang loose rear end problem? You know when you go over a bump while turning and the rear kicks out.

Im thinking maybe control arms. What do lower do compared to upper? Should they both be done?

This should take care of it. I wasn't too happy with the rear end either, so I did
a little research and came up with a panhard bar. Bought it, installed it
and I couldn't be happier. Just make sure the exhaust doesn't come too
close to it or you'll get a rattle.

Are you $350 happy? Did it improve the actual handling of the car?

It's the built in devil of the solid live rear axle. An IRS would help it stick on uneven surfaces better than anything, but their are trade offs.

A live axle will hop over uneven roads,
no matter what you do to the suspension.

With my phb, the drama with initial turn in
has been eleminated. No more snap steering from the rear end. The phb DID NOT do anything to keep the rear end planted during cornering on uneven surfaces. It WILL reduce rear steer under hard cornering forces.
But yes, for what I wanted, and what the phb accomplished, it was money WELL spent. You will notice a difference.
