Default Car is leaning to the right

I installed my BMR panhard rod last Monday and I just noticed tonight(not sure if it did before) that my car is leaning towards the passenger side. What in the hell? What should I check? Anyway to diagnose/fix this problem?

Could the fact that we tightened the panhard bar while the rear tires were on ramps be a factor?

This topic has been beat to death, do a quick search. You'll find that its very very very common and will have plenty of answers/ideas for you.

I searched for "lean" and got zero threads.

I searched for "leaning" and got one thread, which I already read before I posted this.

Believe me, I always search before I post. I posted in part to see if me installing the panhard bar while the car was on ramps and quite possibly not 100% level could have anything to do with it.

Camaro's just do that for some reason, I don't remember what it was. It's common though.. wish I could help more.

I noticed that my car leans to the right to but it's difficult to notice. I have not played around with the Hals rear adj shock to see if that will help.
