Default Adjustable Panhard Rod ?

Hey everyone I recently installed a UMI on-car adjustable panhard rod and was wondering, what is the best/easiest way to center the rear end? Do I need to have the suspension loaded or unloaded? I have access to a different lifts so thats not a problem. TIA

You'll need the suspension loaded to measure for your adjustments.

susp loaded while using a plumb line on the side of the fenders. Measure the distance from the string to the lip of the rim. Adj as needed.

Thanks for the UMI purchase.

The guys are right. We use a string with a nut on it. Measure from the fender lip to the tire. Adjust accordingly.
