I installed mine a few days ago and the best advice would be get the car up and take the load off the rearend and spray the panhard bar bolts and nuts with something like WD 40 and let set for awhile and maybe overnight. The nuts are old and make sure you have your socket or wrench on there good or you'll round them off. Pretty easy install so a search will show the directions or use this write-up. Hope this helps.

With a panhard rod? Huh?
The install is simple. Probably don't even need a jack.
Here's how you do it:
- scoot under there
- remove 2 bolts
- be sure bar doesn't fall on your head
- put the new bar in
- reinstall 2 bolts
As far as adjusting it, that's a bit more complicated. You have to figure out where you're rubbing. If you're rubbing on the inner fenders, then center your rear axle by measuring from the inner fenders to the wheel. If you're rubbing on the fender lip, then measure from the lip to the wheel. Or, if you just want the tires to "look" centered from behind, then drop a plumb line off the fender and measure to the center cap of the wheel.
