I recently dropped the rear end of my camaro to install umi adjustable conrtol arms and umi adjustable pan hard bar. I have everything installed and now it seems the rear is over to the left 2 inches too far. On the drivers side with the wheel on it spins freely but on the passenger side the wheel is touching the bumpstop....any ideas?

you need to adjust the PHB, one way or another till the rear is centered...

It seems that you need to get an adjustable PHB then....they have adjustors that can either lengthen or shorten the arm to get the rear sitting where it should be.

EDIT: Oops, misread your post!

I think you have to take one end off of your car and adjust it that way if you have the off-car adjustable. I'm not sure what the process is (I have an on car adjustable) but I can't imagine it being to complicated. If you have any questions about it, I'm sure you could just call UMI and see what the process is.

I forgot to match the lenght of the new bar to my stock one. Im thinking maybe i need to drop the control arms and bolt up the new pan bar first and then do the control arms.

You need to adjust the PHB and LCA's.... but you need to do it @ ride height. In fact I'd recommend matching the length of those things to your stock parts as a start to get you close. Then you adjust the PHB to square up the body with the car sitting on it's wheels (hanging won't help you). And the LCA's should be adjusted when the car is on an alignment machine to make sure you don't have any thrust angle and that the wheelbase is within spec.

All the measurements need to be with the suspension loaded. Get it in the ball park with the wheels off the ground then double check with it on the ground. If it is shifted to either side then the pbh needs to be adjusted the control arms only move the rear end front to back.

I never said I didnt know what the pan rod is, by the way..Also i dropped the rear, when i was stripping the car down to a bare chassis. Im just now beginning assembly. I got the rear centered perfect now, thanks to those who gave me advise...The others can keep their sarcasm to their self.
