I would look into an adjustable UMI pan hard. Spring wise, the Eibach Pro Kit and Strano's are always a good way to go.

when I f'ked up my rear a few years ago by sliding into a curb. broke my wheel and pushed my axle over towards the driver side. I just recently got dbl adj LCA's and PHB installed. I noticed that I bent the LCA which was causing the rear to be sticking out farther on one side. FFW after the installation on a hoist with all tires and full weight I adjusted it until it was centered.

if you notice, I have a cut out. I hear that more than I hear anything. and I live in NY you'll alway hear road noise with all these holes in the street. I prefer them over poly, plus I have synthetic lube on it

I have a UMI adjustable panhard bar and I like it. Compared to the stock unit is much sturdier. Inexpensive too but don't mistake that for cheap. UMI stuff is top notch

I just leave my car sitting on the ground and get under it and adjust it. That's the main thing about the double adjustable panhard bar. Super easy.

Mine is just the single adjustable version so it's not quite as easy to adjust as the double adjustable. With the single version you have to jack the car up by the rear pumpkin, put jack stands under it, unbolt one end of the bar and adjust it. Then put it back together and let the car down.
