I am planning on cutting my springs this week and I know I will need alignment but if I don't get a panhard rod now will it effect anything with my alignment or not. I want to get it sitting right and get the front end aligned before the weekend, but I won't have the rod untill later, when I install it will I need another alignment or not? I think no but I'm not sure, can anyone help? Thanks.

never got it aligned at all? Or just not after the panhard rod?

i lowered my car, put on the lower conrtol arm brackets and adjustable panhard, adjusted the panhard and never got the car aligned. had brand new tires on the car and they still look great after about a year. no excessive tread inside or out and the car doesnt pull at all

I would do it now if you're pressed for time. There's a personal site around here somewhere which effectively helps you build your own rod-end PH for a few bucks. Relatively speaking it would be good for many applications if not full out too. Different manufactures have their own thing, but are a little more expensive. If I could save up next time I might look into the LG one seriously.

As far as alignment, doesn't a solid axle prevent us from toe changes? I may be mistaken (i.e., there may be some lateral links I haven't looked for yet) but a PH may not effect toe alignment in a negative way of course at all for reduced sqaut under hard load.

the rear only needs to be centered and nothing more as far as i know, there is nothing to adjust. the front will only throw off the camber which for me was a goodthing because it reduced the wear on the outter edge of my tires

I installed a Eibach Pro-kit on my car and my camber was way out. I drove it for about a week like that and then I got it aligned

No, a panhard bar alone will not affect front wheel alignment. The adjustment is just to center the rear axle. Lowering the car whether by cutting the springs or installing lowering springs definitly does change wheel alignment, and it will change the camber as well as toe.
