Default Do I need to recenter the rear axle first??

Do I need to recenter the rear axle first before a proper front end alignment? It's been lowered. I'll be buying an adjustable pan hard bar (not sure when). If it's not necessary to center the axle first, I'll just get an alignment first instead. Thanks.

The panhard centers the rear end...If you dont have an adjustable, you cant center it.

Oh ya that I know. But I was told that when a front end alignment is done, they line up the front with the rear axle. Is that still possible with the axle off since it's been lowered?? I haven't got the adjustable panhard yet.

I believe they go off the "thrust angle" of the rear end but I've never heard of needing the back aligned to do the front.
