Default adh panhard help

How do I adjust it? It's installed. Do I just turn it until it goes a certain way? How do I know which way to turn it? I measured a string over each wheel well to center of the rim, my pass side is onboard about .5" more than tge driver side. I'd like to center as the pass wheel rubs on the wheel well a little. But I'm afraid if.I shift it the drivers side will rub. It has 18*10.5 y2ks with 8mm spacers. I'm trying to get rid of the spacers. I tried the bfh mod. Car also has hh mod..

Adjust the phb about 1/4" longer.

I'd first measure from the outside edge of one jam-nut to the other, then adjust the phb adjuster until the gap increases an additional 1/4".

Hold-on...... is the passenger side more inboard or outboard.. ?

The adjustments I suggested is for it being more out-board.

So if it's inboard to much then shorten the gap by 1/4".

step 1: take the panhard bar off the upper mount and twist is the the adjuster is evenly spaced between the 2 sections of the bar, it looks like the side closest to the tire is several rotations further out then the other side.

once you've fixed that simply watch as you turn to see if the amount of visible thread is increasing or decreasing, if the wheels need to go toward the driver side then increase the amount of thread (to make the bar longer) if it needs to go toward the passenger side then "screw it in" to shorten the bar.

be sure to do the adjusting with the suspension loaded on LEVEL ground (it's ok to drive up on ramps), if the ground is angled left to right it can angle the suspension is sitting at and throw off the "true center".
