Rear End Questions? Here are some questions:
1) What parts hold the rear end onto the car and what parts can be adjusted to position the rear end correctly?
2) Also, if the car is lowered and I have (for example
) Subframe connectors (weld-in kind), relocation brackets (weld-in kind), adjustable panhard rod, and STB does that change what can be adjusted to make the rear end sit square with the body?
3) What could be off if the rear end does not sit square with the body? That means why would one rear tire be further forward than an other?
Let me know if you have any answers to these questions. Thanks!

Re: Rear End Questions? Sometimes, when the car is lowered, it will make one rear wheel stick out more than the other. An adjustable panhard bar will move the rearend to the Right or Left to correct this.
Adjustable Lower control arms will move the tires back or forward.

Re: Rear End Questions? The car does have an adjustable panhard rod, but the problem is that one of the rear tires is more forward than the other. The panhard rod only affects the left and right, not the front to back.
I am just trying to figure out what possible could be wrong due to either an accident or bad installation to cause this problem.

Re: Rear End Questions? You said you have relocation brackets, right?
Sounds to me like one of the relocation brackets wasn't welded in the right spot, causing one of the lower control arm to be too long or too short, and that's forcing one wheel out of align.
You'll either need adjustable lower control arms, or cut off the relocation brackets and re-weld them in the right spot this time.
