Default Question about panhard bar

I don't have an adjustable and put on wider wheels and tires. The car pulls a little to the right. The rear sits a little to the left but no rubbing issues. You think this could be my pulling issue?

It's not helping. Wider tires won't make it sit crooked, but being lowered will. And from the looks of the car in your sig, it looks pretty low.

Did you lower the car and install the wider tires at the same time?

Did the pull start after the tires were put on? I would suggest a front end alignment first and see what happens there... that is most likely the cause.

The shop can not do any type of (4) wheel alignment with out an adjustable panhard but they can do a front end alignment with out.

They can do the front end alignment but not a 4-wheel alignment without an adjustable PHR.
