Question Using an adjustable panhard...

I have the BMR adjustable unit, and I need to move the rear end just a skitch over to the driver's side. Got a little tire rub when turning sharply.

Can I do this without jacking up the car?

Which direction of rotation on the bar's nut do I go (to push the rear toward the driver's side) e.g. "forward" = rotating the nut in the same direction as the wheels when driving forward.

Thanks in advance for any help...

Yah, I saw that... and if I'm reading it correctly, "Lower vehicle to ride height" infers that adjustments to the PHB after installation can be made without lifting the vehicle. I was hoping for a nut rotational guide, so that I screw it in the correct direction right off the bat without any guesswork.

So will the adjustment occur right away? Or do you have to bounce the rear around a bit to get it to settle in the new location? Or do you have to drive it around a few corners?

Thanks for the link, anyway...

You need to lengthen the bar, as the right side is fixed at the chassis. Suggestion is to loosen the jam nuts and then lightly try to rotate the bar. If it immediately tightens, turn the other way, about 1 turn, and remeasure, as shown in the previous link.
