Default Help "My rear end is setting over at least 0.5 inches"

Hey guys I recently got a 95 M6 TA and the rear end is setting over towards the drivers side about 0.5 inches. It has barely rubbed the under coating off a spot in the inner wheel well on the passanger side. The car had a used factory torque arm put on it one time because the previous owner "my buddy" was driving around town and his factory one just broke "it was weird but I was there lol". So last night I put it on a lift expecting to find this used torque to be bent and be the problem but when I looked it seemed to be ok. It had a slight curve to it but the more I thought about it it seems that my torque arm on my 98 car has slight curve also. I checked out the rest of the suspension and it was all stock and seemed to be fine. The car is at factory ride height but is on a set of 17X9.5 C6 Zo6 Wheels. Does any one have any ideals what else it could be?

Thanks, Chase

Get a adjustable pan hard rod. Our rears arent usually perfectly centered from the factory.

I've read about cars coming out from the factory with the rearend not centered. I suggest an adjustable PHR.

So even though the car is not lowered you still think an adjustable ph bar would be the fix? It is over pretty bad and when I say at least half an inch I mean at least lol.

Like everyone (except the duct tape guy) has mentioned all you need is an adjustable panhard rod.

We offer a variety of different types to fit a variety of applications. A link to our panhard bars can be found here:
