Default Panhard bar?

When I hit the curb pretty badly a couple months ago I bent my rear passenger side axle, lucky I had another one from my previous ws6. I replaced the bent axle with my other one and as soon as I put it back on I noticed the tire was sticking out about 2 inchs wider then the driver side tire, now I heard if I get a adj. panhard bar i can bring my tire back to it's orignal postion? Is that true cuz it really looks ugly driverside rear tire is stickin out 1 inch and passenger 3 inchs looks retarted need some info need to fix fast!!!

U sure that other axle you put in was the same? I don't see why messing up one axle on a speed bump would slide your rearend over more to a side. It still has the stock ph bar so why would it move! Did you take the rearend out to replace the axle or just opened it up under the car?

If it isn't sitting the same you damaged/bent something else. Check everything under the car, all suspension components, mount points, everything.

you got other issues man. You damaged more then you think especially if your rear is that far off center. An adj PHB is not the answer for this. You need to figure out what else got damaged besides just the axle.

Yeah they're the same so that's not the problem. Is the side (other axle) that was not damaged on the same spot or did it move in kinda tuck in the fender more? Does the stock ph bar look damaged?
