how to line up rearend with adj. panhard bar
Got a adjustible panhard bar today. How do i measure and make sure my rear is center with my car. Anyone got measuring points to go off of? I did notice that it looks like my rear is off to the left a bit more when i line it up with my sway bar. How do you guys go by doing this. Thanks.

I use a plumb bob on a string. I hang it from the top of the fender so that its close to being centered (by eyeball) in front of the axle hub. Tape the string in place with masking tape. Then measure from the edge of the plastic traingle piece behind each door window to the tape line. I duplicate that measurement on a piece of tape on the other side. (end up with a piece of tape on each fender marked with a reference measurement)
The above gives a reference point in the same spot on both sides so the curvature of the fender doesnt throw your measurements off.
Then measure from the axle hub (my wheels are without center caps) to the string on each side and adjust accordingly.
The reason for doing it the way I do is because my TA has those cuuurrrrvvvy rear fenders and Ive had them throw my measurement off by at least an 1/8" from side to side.
