Panhard bar... noob question
Panhard bar... noob question
My car is lowered 1.9" in the rear. When I was checking the rear for possibly adding spacers, I noticed my car is shifted to the right about an inch. From what I've read, it's supposed to shift to driver side, no? Anyways, when I lowered it, I had the shop install a Steeda adj. panhard bar. I thought that was supposed to take care of it. Either the guy installed it and didn't bother to align the rear, or it just shifted after the springs settled.
I haven't done an alignment since lowering, so I'm going to do it now. Will the tire/alignment shops know how to adjust the panhard bar too? I don't really want to pay someone to adjust an adjustable panhard bar.. but my ramps have been useless since I lowered the car and to be honest I don't really know what I'm doing.
Thanks

It's an easy adjustment.
You can just measure from the tire to the wheel opening lip with a plumb bob and then just adjust it until both sides are the same.
You can make a couple of plumb bobs by tying a big washer on a string and then tape the sting to the edge of the fender, then measure from the string to the tire.

Thanks Ltngdrvr I will give it a go
yeah . . . they must have not adjusted the adjustable bar at all, just threw it in there the way it came in the box, and it's way off
should be an easy do-it-yourself fix like Ltngdrvr said, if you can get under the back of the car
