Yes it centers to rear(side to side) in the car. Some panhards are adjustable to help with alignment problems also aftermarket PH's usually have urethane or solid bushings.

An after market panhard bar also helps with the rear of the car wanting to side step over bumps in a turn.

I couldn't agree more! I put mu UMI rod/rod PHB on and was amazed, that annoying side stepping was gone!! Though, I also put on KONI SAs at the same time. My theory is the Stock PHB bushings buckle during a bump, allowing too much movement. This is the 2nd most needed aftermarket part for 4th gens after shocks.
