Default can you adjust an aphr with the car on the ground?

or does it need to have the wheels off the ground or something?
i know, i know...stupid question, but theres no harm in asking just to make sure. also, which way should i turn then bolt/nut thing in the middle of the aphr if i need the wheels to go to the drivers side about 1/5'' or so?
i probably should have just went with a nonadjustable panhard rod

I would lift the rear end and support it with jack stands, then lower the rear end and make your adjustments with the wheels off the ground. It's easier to see. Not sure if they're all threaded the same way, so you'll just have to adjust it and see which way it moves.
