Default Adjusting BMR Panhard bar...??

This is the one I'm installing:

I'm having a hard time adjusting it, actually I cant even get both bolts in, so I guess I'm trying to lengthen the over length, bolt it in, then lower the car and adjust...


Am i supposed to spin the nuts on either end, and spin the actual tube left or right? Either I'm doing this wrong or this thing wont budge

I usually start out with the PHR equal to the stock PHR lenght. To line up the bolts to install it I place a floor jack under the left side of the axle and raise it till the holes line up with the PHR.

You should be able to just loosen the jam nuts and rotate the bar to lengthen and shorten it. Note one side will have left handed threads.

Hello, make sure that you have the jamb nuts backed off. Once you get the rod ends broke loose use anti-seize/never seize on the threads. If you need any additional help please give me a call.
